omahasYesterday Kouryou-chan decided that she wanted egg salad sandwiches for lunch. I told her that was a good idea, and I'd like one too. I was busy on my desktop downstairs and told her I'd be up in a minute to get it started. Kouryou didn't want to wait.
"Can I get it started?" she asked.
"Well, you can get part of it started, up till the part where we put it on the stove," I replied.
Basically, I figured that she could handle taking out a small pot, filling it with hot water, and putting two eggs into it. I was wrong. She never got past taking the two eggs out of the fridge first.
She came back downstairs shortly later and, with a very unhappy expression on her face. "I broke both the eggs," she said.
"What?! How could you break both of them?? Where you holding them both in one hand?" I accused.
"No," she said plaintively, "I had one in this hand, and I was trying to put the other one here," she pointed to her armpit, "while closing the refrigerator. "
"Okay, that's the reason you dropped that egg, Kouryou-chan, you don't stuff an egg into your armpit. You should have put it down. But how did you drop the other egg?"
"It just fell, it was an accident!"
Kouryou-chan had brought down a third egg, the last one we had. I grabbed that one and said, "Kouryou, you don't just drop an egg like that...it doesn't just drop out of your hand for no reason!" To demonstrate, I dropped the egg out of my hand onto my chair (I was sitting on the floor at the time, having readjusted some wires beneath my desk) and my hand was only a few inches from the chair. So the egg dropped harmlessly to the soft chair.
And rolled right off of it onto the harmful and hard carpeted floor...and broke.
"Like that," I ended, lamely. Then smacked my head in my hands.
Kouryou-chan started laughing.
Yeah, I showed her, didn't I.
