Crack




I was making scrambled eggs for lunch; in attendance was JJ, my four year-old grandson … who was fascinated with the pack of eggs on the table. 


He picked up an egg and examined it; I asked him - as one would - to put it back gently. He picked another one up … I had turned my attention to the frypan and butter, when I heard that noise: Crack. 


I swung around, he looked at me, then turned back to the spilt egg and without missing a beat declared, “Opa, you have to buy eggs with stronger shells.”
