If You Ever Need an Answer to Life's Age Old Questions

Caleb was telling me about how some fruit comes from trees. From there he went on to tell me that some animals come from eggs.

"Ah, but which came first, the chicken or the egg?" I mused teasingly.

"THE EGG, OF COURSE!" He pronounced with decisive conviction. "Why do you say that?"

I explained that it's a question people have long debated over.

"Well, if they want to know that, they should just go to a farm." It was said in that, "well, DU-U-UH!" tone of voice.

I thought to myself, sometimes I wish I had that confidence. I told Joseph about it and he probed Caleb a bit that evening.

"Yeah, but where where did the first egg come from?"

"A chicken."

"So where did that chicken come from?"

"An egg."

"And that egg?"

"A chicken. And so on and so forth."

"So where did the first chicken come from then?"

"A ROOSTER, OF COURSE!"

Well, yes, it would all go back to the male, in a Caleb world, wouldn't it?
