Where does a chicken come from?

Well, everyone asks this question... which came first, the chicken or the egg? Today, in the car, I was asking Gunnar what he wanted for lunch. The choices included macaroni & cheese, chicken and other things... here's how the conversation went:

Mom: Do you want chicken, or pasta, or meatballs?
Gunnar: Where does the chicken come from?
Mom: It comes from an egg.
Gunnar: No, chicken doesn't come from an egg, pancakes come from an egg.
Mom: Oh, really? Then where does chicken come from?
Gunnar: From a chicken!

Ok... so you have to know that we make pancakes for breakfast... it's one of Gunnar's favorite foods to make. And, apparently, he thinks that eggs turn into pancakes and chickens turn into chickens. So cute this boy of ours is!!!
