The EGG enjoys pretend alot, as well as telling stories. Asking her about her day at school, she says: "Stella and I changed feet. There was this big thunderstorm and our feet got wet and Miss Toni went to put them back on and she put mine on Stella's and Stella's on mine."

EGG quote: "Small children can do some pretty amazing things." (after watching her brother climb from the couch onto the mantlepiece and stand up)
