On Cooper's birthday Sarah allowed him a special privilege by letting him crack the eggs for his birthday brownies all by himself (anyone with small children will know this runs a high shell risk). Andy wanted to try to crack an egg all by himself, too, but Sarah informed him that this was a special thing just for Cooper on his special day. Andy tried to understand and, as it has now become apparent, solidly locked the desire away into his heart to crack an egg someday.
A few weeks later I was making cookies. Andy saw me get an egg out as part of the process and, recalling that firm desire, said with much enthusiasm, "I want to crap an egg! Can I?"
It is quite unfortunate for Andy that the amount of laughter traced back to that question has locked that memory in our minds for YEARS to come.
But truly, God help us all if he ever really does crap an egg.
