    Oooh, happy anniversary lovely folks! :):):)

    I found a book I wrote as a small child in my office and thought it might amuse you :D It's called 'Eggs' and is cut into the shape of a (very oddly shaped) egg :D :rotfl:

    It starts with

    eggs are hatched by all sorts of animals. did you know that eggs where hatched by fish? yes they are

    :D

    Then I got a bit more descriptive

    today we have been thinking about words in the order of the alphabet I thought of pullets I did not know what it ment so mrs langford told me she said that you call a young hen a pullet'

    And it went on for a while, then got a bit more detailed about life spans etc

    birds lay eggs in there nest's and the eggs hatch into little baby birds and they grow up and have more eggs so that is how it goes on

    (I'm sure this is very informative for you all, and Pippi especially, who I imagine didn't know many of these egg-related facts)

    We also talked about different animals

    the frog lays the eggs and leaves them at the bottom of the pond and goes away

    the toad goes to the bottom of the pond and lay there eggs. they are not like frogspawn it is in a line

    (my personal favourite) snakes lay eggs and they crack and baby snakes come out and grow up and have babys and get married and it goes on and on (might have been getting a bit bored by this point??) :rotfl:

    the last page starts with we have been talking about eggs for a LONG time...

    :rotfl:

    Sorry for the takeover Pippi, clearly I'm avoiding doing something more important but my little book of egg related knowledge did make me think of you :D
