Friday Funnies

Real conversation this evening with my 8 and 10-year-old daughters as my wife (Wendi Huisman Kitsteiner) was packaging eggs from our laying chickens…

First daughter: “Dad, chickens don’t lay eggs from their butts, right?”

Me: “No. Birds don’t have butts. They only have one hole. It’s called a cloaca.”

First daughter: “They pee and poop out of their cloaca?”

Me: “Yes. Birds and reptiles and amphibians all have cloacas.”

Son (who I didn’t know was listening): “Fish do, too.”

Me: “Nice. Yes, some fish have cloacas also.”

Second daughter: “Wait… do they mate out of that hole also?”

Me: “Yes.”

First daughter: “Wow! That’s quite a hole. It does everything!”

Me: “… uh… well… yes.”

I didn’t really have a response to that statement.
