She seems relieved that I'm not weirded out, happy even. I ask her what she does with her eggs, and she tells me that since they're not fertilized they'll never hatch, so she just throws them out. I tell her that's not right. Even if they wont hatch it seems like a shame to just throw them in the trash. I feel like we should use these eggs for something, do something with them. She asks me what could we possibly do with her egg, eat it?
And as I sit there, clutching her egg in my hands, I realize that's exactly what I want to do. I want to eat my girlfriend's egg.
So we got to the kitchen and fire up the stove. Gently, I crack the egg into the pan. It's shell is hard and thick, but I manage to get it open. It had a beautiful golden yoke, surrounded by crystalline clear fluid. It fills the whole pan, there was so much. And I proceed to make scrambled eggs as I normally do.
Finally, we have a plate of scrambled eggs, with a slice of toast. We both just sit there staring at it, not sure what to do next. Finally my girlfriend says you try it. So I pick up my fork, and take a bite.
It was the most delicious egg I've ever eaten. It tasted like heaven!
And that's when I wake up.
