Living on the egg....

One of the best things about my job, is the wee chats I have with the various kids who come in with their parents.

There is one particularly sunny 5 year old who never fails to make me smile, and today she bounced into the shop with her mummy, beaming with happiness as usual.

'Guess what I've got?' she asked me.

'I have no idea,' I replied, 'Give me a clue.'

'Eggs!' she told me, highly delighted with herself.

'Well that's lovely.' I said. 'What kind are they? Duck? Chicken?'

'No', she answered loudly,' Lice!'

Her mother's face was a picture.......
