Everything’s bigger in Texas.
Just ask Cookie Smith’s chickens.
Not that the three hens are saying who laid the ‘super egg’ in Cookie’s chicken coop in Abilene…
But you can be sure one of ‘em is feeling it.
The shape and color of the mutant egg were consistent with the hens’ usual production. But it measured an entire inch longer and weighed in at five ounces — three times the norm.
And it’s no wonder.
When Cookie cracked the big egg open, another egg — completely intact — came rolling out inside the first egg’s white.
Yep, the chicken-who-does-not-wish-to-be-named produced a rare ‘double egg,’ which experts say is perfectly safe to eat. But Cookie took a pass. And who can blame her?
A double stuff Oreo it’s not.
Ah, youth
Poor Snigdha Nandipati.
…the same year that six-year old Lori Anne Madison from Virginia was in the competition.
Lori Anne, who on Wednesday fell four points short of making the semifinals, was treated to a 25-minute news conference with reporters Thursday morning.
One has to wonder if Snigdha will get the same attention. Does her calm and collected manner, her aspirations to become a psychiatrist or neurosurgeon, her coin collection have any chance against a tiny, home-schooled prodigy?
Lori Anne is a reporter’s dream. When asked to describe her experience at the Bee, she replied:
“Overall, it was boring. Really boring! Really boring!”
We spell that S-A-S-S.
