How To Eat Eggs

An accessible audio player and an interview with my kiddos on the proper method for eating eggs. Recorded April 19, 2019.

Starting interview here with Theo and Eva.

Can you tell me what kind of egg you like to eat?

T: Uh... all of the eggs.

All the eggs?
T: Uh huh.
Is there a special way you like the eggs prepared?

T: Because they come from... chickens! 🐓

That sounds like a chicken noise.

T: Yeah.

Is there a special way you like to cook your eggs before you eat them?

[T: pulls in breath]

[T: chuckle]

T: On... a pan.

On a pan? Uh... Are they cooked all the way through, are they kinda runny?

T: Runny.

A bit runny?
T: Uh huh.

Is there anything you like to eat them with?
T: Uh, a fork? 🍴

E: Hey, could I say something?

You may! We're talking about eggs. What kind of eggs do you like to eat, Eva?
[T: background airplane noises]

E: Um that... the white eggs, and scrambled, and... and overeasy!
[T: background airplane noises intensify]

E: And also some hatched! 🐣

How do you like to eat your eggs?

E: Um, like this [chomp noise] and this [lips smacking].

That sort of looks like a banana, a banana egg.

[E: laugh]
[T: monster airplane noises]

When is a good time to eat eggs?

E: Um um... the day that they don't explode! 💥

That is a very good time to eat eggs.

Are there any more times that you like to eat eggs?
E: Yeah...?
Yeah?

Thank you for your answers, I'm looking forward to eating some eggs with you soon.

T: BYE!
