That time i tried to hatch an egg by sitting on it
When I was 5 years old, I really wanted to have my own baby chicks to play with.
Much like the concept of giving children baby dolls to play with. The idea of being motherly was a childhood fantasy of mine. Through many viewings of fast food commercials and kids shows with their cartoon chickens sitting on eggs. My brain clicked! Surely I can do the same thing and have my very own baby chicks to care for.
And so while my mum went off to work, I went into the kitchen and grabbed a stone cold egg from the fridge. I went to my bed, put the egg on it, and sat on it. To mimic a nest I put the egg on a pillow and surrounded myself with blankets for extra warmth.
I sat there with the biggest grin on my face. 10 minutes passes, I was expecting to be a mother hen any time soon as the egg got hotter and hotter. But nothing happened. My mind starts to wonder...
Then crack! My bottom hits the pillow and the egg starts to sink into my pants. I sat there for a moment, dumbfounded at the whole situation. 5 year old me didn't know what to do with a broken egg on the bed so I just took my pants off and fled the crime scene.
My mum comes home from work later and wonders why I have no pants on. I shamefully lead her to the bedroom and laughter erupts from her belly at the sight of my "nest". I never learnt how to hatch an egg properly after that, but that wasn't the end of my bird role-playing adventures. I once tried to fly by jumping off a chair and flapping my arms up and down.
