An egg for thought

As I inspected an egg prior to its use in my Thanksgiving baking, I found myself imagining an odd scenario.

What if there were creatures larger than humans, who kept us in cages? What if, as female humans gave birth, the creatures came by, collected the newborn infants, packaged them in a cardboard tray, and sold them in some version of a supermarket? How strange that would be!

  1. That's a rather modest proposal.

  2. Then I would make a wonderful sugar cookie dough, if I might say so myself.

  3. Yes, well I've not thought of it, but I'll tell you that I just cannot eat eggs at all for the image that you just proposed.
