“Dad always seemed to have one or two hired men, and this guy, he’d find a hen’s nest and maybe five or six eggs in it. He just stab ’em on the end of the pitchfork, sucked ’em. So he showed me how to do it.”

“Mother said, ‘No, I never sucked eggs. Do you know how to suck eggs?’ ‘Yeah, I know.’ So she said, ‘Show me.’ So I went and got the pitchfork. We were using them all the time in hay, and they’re nice and bright and shiny. And I just stabbed the egg on the end of the pitchfork.”
