He didnt like ’em,
Which can make breakfast difficult…
“I’ll eat an egg, he says,
but it can’t look like an egg…”
Boiled eggs?
“Can you play marbles with the yolks”
Fried eggs?
“is it crispy?
Can you make a frisbee out of it?”
Omelet?
“Does it bounce if dropped?”
How about a nice soft boiled egg? over easy?
“Those slimy things? (nauseous, grimacing silence)
–do you want to see it twice?”
Clance was sick for months when he was two
he lived on a farm
and his mother loved him
To get better, she gave him a nice fresh egg every day
–raw in his milk
He recovered
but he never got over it…
