When my oldest was 2, my wife worked a 3-11 shift. He was very docile, loving to sit and watch cartoons. He wouldn't sleep until mom was home...so
he stayed up until 11:30pm every night (and has since always been a night owl).
One night after supper around 7 or so, I was feeling a bit mischievous. He came in with a pine cone from the backyard and showed it to me. I told
him it was a porcupine egg. He knew what they were, and thought it was cool. I then shook it a bit, telling him "I think its close to
hatching....did you see its mommy outside?" He shook his head "No".
I then said, "You know, I bet that if you sat on it, it would hatch".
When his mom got home at 11:30 she wasn't nearly as amused as I apparently was. She said, "What are you sitting on?" He told her the story, and she
looked at me.
