Hello, spring

Wow, it has been ages since I've last posted. Life! Crazy! Soon I'll catch up. But first, this little story from Annie, which unfolded over the afternoon and evening.

Annie's story, Phase 1:
She found a robin's egg at recess! No, she didn't show it to her teacher. But she did show it to her friends. It was blue and it was pretty.

Annie's story, Phase 2:
There was a real yolk inside the egg! Yes, it broke. She wasn't sure it was real, so she broke it. It was real. One of her friends buried it.

Annie's story, Phase 3:
"Mom, can I tell you something that's kind of funny and kind of gross? When I found the robin's egg I thought it was Easter candy. So I took a bite of it. I didn't really get any in my mouth, though. I threw it on the ground."

"Oh....um....[how am I supposed to respond to this? I don't want to freak her out, but it's so funny! And so gross!]...next time you find something that looks like candy on the playground, even if it really is candy, please don't eat it."

"Okay."
