Chickens make eggs (and milk?)

11.9.2007 | 11:40 am | Everyday Life

The boys and I had to make a grocery store run this morning (yes, B - I forgot the milk, that’s why I asked you to bring it home this evening). I am almost out of my homemade hot chocolate mix and needed to make some more, in addition we were out of eggs. As I was putting the groceries away, I sat aside on the counter the ingredients to make my hot chocolate mix. One of the ingredients is powdered milk.

J came inside from playing in the backyard and saw the box of powdered milk. The box of powdered milk has a picture of a cow on it.

J: Is this cow food?

Mommy: No, it is powdered milk to put in my hot chocolate mix. Where does milk come from?

J: I don’t know.

Mommy: Think about it. Were does the milk we drink come from?

J: Chickens!

Mommy: No. Chickens make eggs. Cows make milk. Now, where does milk come from?

J: Cows!

I was half expecting J to say “Walmart!”

So much to learn!
