Don't count your chickens before they hatch...

...and don't crack your eggs over your cookie dough mixings until you've checked for dead ones.

Tonight, one of my childhood nightmares just came true. I was teaching my little neighbor girl how to make cookies when she cracks one of the eggs and says, "Rachel, I think this egg is bad." So I turn to look and see something dark inside the half-cracked egg as she calmly says, "I think it's a chicken." By now I'm in hysterics and safely on the other side of the apartment, while this brave 13-year old verifies...there was indeed a dead chicken fetus in the shell!
