Neighbor about my Americauna hen's eggs: You can eat green eggs? Are you certain?
Me: These are chicken eggs just like any chicken egg, only they taste much better than commercial eggs.
Neighbor: Chickens don't lay green eggs.
Me: But you just saw me take the eggs out of the nest box. There is one green one.
Neighbor: Chickens lay tan or white eggs. And, besides that, that big egg could not have come out of the chicken you pointed out. She isn't big enough.
Me: Here, take this green egg and have it for breakfast tomorrow.
Neighbor: OMG, noooooo thanks. It could be poison.
Me: The boys next door eat them all the time. In fact, they want to be sure to have green eggs for March 2nd.
Neighbor: What?
Me: Dr Seuss birthday.
Neighbor: You know when his birthday is? And you dyed the eggs, right?
Me (see me giving up?): Sure, Then I put the eggs back in the nest box to see what the chickens would say.
Neighbor: You're nuts.
Me: Yes, I know.
