Today, with the most certainty and confidence that I have ever seen in her, my 16-year-old daughter told me an egg is a fruit because of its "hard shell and growing seed." FML

If eggs are fruit, can bacon be a green leafy vegetable? Then I can eat healthy.

Well, I guess I can tell the doctor I get plenty of fruit in my diet.

Again. The American school system proves to be eggsellent

I feel like it's almost possible this was in defense of a vegan diet. haha

We can tell she's special because of her thick skull and soft insides.

I'm going to go plant some eggs now and see if I can't get a chicken tree out of them!

Tell me if it works, because that would be bad ass.

You wouldn't get a chicken tree, you would get an eggplant XD

No, see the single egg would make an eggplant. But with their powers combined... But really, an unfertilized egg has half a DNA strand. So two makes a whole chicken right?

Chickens don't grow on trees. Even first year horticulture students in high school know they grow on bushes. ;)

To be fair, an egg comes from an ovary and a fruit is an ovary, so I can kinda see her line of thinking

I highly doubt that was her line of thinking.

Really #78? That's where my brain went immediately. Maybe dad didn't understand what was being said, and a logical if:then statement was being constructed (or at least attempted) due to the fact a fruit is the ovum of a plant. Details may have muddled but there is a connection between egg and fruit in terms of reproductive functions.

I'm sorry your daughter is an idiot.

Never in my life have I read or even heard of such a level of stupid.

I now know we're doomed as a race,I guess we will be going the way of the dinosaurs !!!

Snails don't know the scientific difference between an egg and a fruit, either, but they haven't gone extinct yet. I think we'll be fine as a species, even if a few teenagers aren't as knowledgeable as other people.
