Chicken Sitting

Yes, I said chicken sitting.  One of my daughter's best friends from high school is home from college this summer. She was staying with some friends and watching their nine chickens while the family is on vacation.  In our town you can have chickens as long as there is no rooster.  This keeps the noise down.
 
My daughter's friend came by tonight to drop off some of the eggs she has been collecting for the past week.  We hadn't seen her all summer.  She is like another daughter to me.  I am extremely proud of her.  She had about three dozen eggs.
She came over right after dinner.  She came in dressed like a little farm girl.  So cute. She had about three dozen eggs in cartons which she carried in a little basket.  Yes, a basket. 

I was aghast.  I told her that I was shocked that she would do that.  After all the advice that everyone has given her over the years she should have known.  You never put all of your eggs in one basket.
