What comes first...

When John arrived to pick up Joshua from school yesterday afternoon, he was met by the teacher and an “Okay...here is the deal…”. They had dyed eggs at school that day and Joshy was very concerned that they stay cold so that he could eat them when he got home that night. He made sure they were kept in the fridge the entire day and although uncertain about taking them out, even though about to leave, the teacher was sure to show him that they were still cold and could make it home. This, of course, begs the question as to why he would associate a hard boiled egg with being inedible when at room temperature, but wanting food refrigerated instead of left out is hardly the instinct to correct. It is the “pizza laying out for two days…probably fine” that leans more towards the questionable. So, they get the eggs home and Joshy tears into the first one. After a bite or two, he asks to throw it away. John isn’t really paying attention, so he says fine and Joshy tosses it with the remainder of the eggs going into the fridge. Later John was asking Joshy about the eggs and he said that he didn’t like them because he didn’t like the cheese in the middle. Yes, sweetie, I don't like that cheese either. Of course, as John was explaining that it wasn’t cheese, it was a yoke and then trying to explain what a yoke was, they got to the part where the egg was what chickens grow in. “I am biting into a baby chicken?!? Gross!”. He then proceeds to mime eating a chicken and how gross it would be to bite in and come away with baby bird head. So what did come first? The egg or the cheese covered baby bird head? I am afraid we may never know...
