Twin yolks, twin babies?

There were two plates. Each was nicely filled with two medium toasts and scrambled eggs. Realising that I hadn't made enough scrambled eggs for another 2 plates, I reached for another egg from the chicken porcelain thingy Ms Z has in her kitchen.

I was blankly staring at the water tap as I cracked open the one egg that I had taken, into LO's favourite bowl. As I looked down at the bowl to give it a good beat, I saw two small egg yolks.

Wait a minute!




I looked down at my hands and there were two-halves' shell of one egg. And I was positively sure that the bowl was absolutely empty before cracking the egg.

It had been a twin yolk! I don't know about you, but this is my first time to ever experience this. Never had I experienced getting two yolks from a single chicken egg. Is this common?

I was so excited that I took the bowl into the room and showed it to DH.

"Look!!!"

"Umpph???" *trying hard to lift his eyelids*

"Two egg yolks!!Look!"

I was actually expecting DH to say "So?" because I hadn't told him that it had come from a single egg.

"Uuhh?" *lifting his head off the bed*

"Uuhh... ohh, then you'll be getting twins!!!" *trying to get back to sleep*

"Two egg yolks, from one egg!" *with a disbelieving tone, trying to make a point without realising that DH has hinted so*

"Yelah..I know. Tu tanda nak dapat twin !!" *saying with one eye shut*

I don't believe in such superstition, but if it would be a coincidence, I am more that happy to accept the fact!
