Sitting at a potluck lunch at church yesterday, enjoying conversation with our retired pastor and his wife. 

I excitedly proclaimed that our new little chicks had started laying eggs! 

But, golly, their first eggs were quite small – just a tad bigger than quail eggs.

When I told this to Pastor and his wife, they said, “Wow, will they get any bigger?”

Oh gosh, there was yet another idiom question – and I sure had a hard time not letting myself guffaw aloud!

I calmly (though with a smirk) explained that the current eggs we have received will NOT grow any bigger … but, as the hens grow, so will the eggs they lay. 

Danged city-fied yankees sure make for fun fodder for me!
