What came first—the Chicken or the Egg? My seven-year-old daughter, Lauren, asked me this question one day.

Lauren asked me again, "What came first—the Chicken or the Egg?”

I thought momentarily about some profound, meaningful answer but was interrupted by Lauren, who said she knew the answer (this is very common for Lauren).

“Dad, you think you are so smart.  You have several degrees but don’t know the answer to my question.  And I know the answer!”
