 Melissa:  its only supposed to take like 30 days for those eggs to hatch

isnt that crazy

 me:  that seems like a long time

eggs are fragile

 Melissa:  a long time? we incubate for like 280 days!

 me:  whoa

you knew that number

 Melissa:  no.

i multiplied 9 (months) by 30

and added a couple for the months that have 31 days

and to make me look even more dumb. i used a calculator

but in my defense it was sitting on my desk just waiting for me to use it...i could have done that math in my head (i hope)
