For ages I believed that the yolk of an egg was the baby chicken that had died! I thought it was gross and it made me feel sick when I saw a runny yolk.
To make matters worse, my mum once made a hole in an egg with a pin and the air that was escaping made a chirping sound. You can guess what I thought it was - Yes - a chick that was still alive!
