When I was little my mom always made sure us kids had a good breakfast to start the day off right. Every time she made eggs sunny-side-up or over easy, I wouldn't eat, and would complain that she didn't take the bacon out of the bacon and eggs. For months my mom couldn't figure out what I was talking about because there wasn't any bacon on my plate, only eggs. I didn't like the yolks and thought those were the bacon in bacon and eggs.
