The morning scene in our house on Saturday will see most of us bustling about in the kitchen preparing breakfast. Given the limited space we have, it is normal to take turns preparing the different items on our breakfast menu. The one consistent necessity that all of us would include in our individual breakfast menu?: Eggs
Whether poached, soft-boiled, fried, boiled or scrambled, we'd either use a steel cup, or a frying pan to achieve the desired result. This same frying pan can be used to boil noodles as well. Hence should two people want to use it for different purposes, it is only natural that they take turns.
This morning saw a similar situation, where I was waiting for my father to finish frying his eggs in the frying pan. I had already started to boil my eggs in the steel cup and needed the frying pan to cook noodles. When he was done, I happily started taking over and was going through the motions when he suddenly looked over my shoulder and proceeded to deliver the funniest line of the morning in the most sincerely worried, and serious tone.
He said, "What are you doing? Are you going to fry your boiled eggs?"
