What's crazy is my daughter and I were in the car and she was telling me that a chicken can only lay up to five eggs. And I was like that's definitely not true, and she said that that's what her teacher said. I said that it's definitely not true, and maybe there's a limit per "egg laying session," if there is such a thing, but even knowing nothing about chickens, I know they lay more than five eggs.

She then went on to say maybe it was how many kittens a cat can have.

So this argument is a very real thing.

My daughter is 7, so I don't expect her to have all the facts just yet.
