What Came First: The Egg Or The Baby?
(I’m 16 and working a six-hour shift as a bagger. It’s been a long day and I still have an hour until I go home, and I’m feeling stressed and grouchy. A little boy comes up with his mother, and while she talks to the cashier, the boy talks to me.)
Little Boy: “What’s your name?”
Me: “My name is [My Name]. What’s yours?”
Little Boy: “I’m [Little Boy]. How old are you?”
Me: “I’m 16. How about you?”
Little Boy: “I’m four. Do you know how to drive?”
Me: “Yes, I do.”
Little Boy: “Do you know how to cook?”
Me: “Yes.”
Little Boy: “Do you know how to make a cookie?”
Me: “I do, indeed.”
Little Boy: “Do you know how to make an egg?”
Me: “Yep!”
Little Boy: “Do you know how to make a baby?”
(I crack up.)
Mother: *coming over* “I’m sorry! He asks the craziest things!”
Me: “No worries. He made my day!”
(He did! It’s been two years and I still tell this story.)
