when i was little, my parents would sometimes make eggs for me for breakfast. it was ok when my mom did it, but my dad always managed to get little pieces of the shell in it, which i thought were nuts. so i'd ask him each time to please make the eggs without nuts, and of course he had no idea what i was talking about.
