What Came First? The Chicken Or The Meat

Let me start this tale by saying Dan/Daddy is a very smart guy. He knows a lot about a lot of things. I like to pretend I know more than him, and I like to tell him I know more than him. But, truthfully.... he's pretty sharp.
In the many years we've been married, I've learned he is clueless about
1. current Hollywood happenings
2. reality TV
3. the stuff in People magazine
4. popular music
In other words, all the important things.

If I have to go through life married to a man who doesn't know Adele's latest song or what a Kardashian is.... then I suppose that's ok. That's why I have girlfriends.

But I may have to add to that sort list. We had a little family incident that has me worried.

Last weekend, we were playing the game "Catch Phrase." It's a great game where you shout out clues to help your partner guess a particular phrase or word within a time limit. Dan/Daddy was on my team and was trying to give me clues to guess the phrase "bacon and eggs."
Not too difficult, right? I can think of lots of clues to give someone so they would guess "bacon and eggs." Like...

"One comes from a pig and one comes from a chicken."

Or...

"Long and skinny strips of salty goodness and a roundish oval thing in a shell."

But, no. This is what my smart husband says to me...

"Two breakfast meats."

Huh? I guessed "bacon and ham" and "bacon and sausage" and "sausage and Canadian bacon" and "ham and sausage" and about a hundred other meat combinations.

Well. As you can imagine, the buzzer went off, and our time was up.
After the other team had a guess, he was able to reveal the phrase.

When he said "bacon and eggs" I had to ask him to repeat himself.
Then after we all fell over laughing, I said,
"Why did you say TWO meats?"
His answer?
"An egg is a meat."

Oh. My.
Yes, he did.

And so began the first family feud of 2012. No matter what I say about eggs being proteins or eggs not being meat (yet), he has continued to stand firm.
I took the war to Facebook and asked everyone to offer their vote. I also shamelessly asked them to agree with me because I had to win.

35 comments later and the count stands at:
Me: 32
Dan/Daddy: 2
Tie: 1

The only 2 people who voted for Dan/Daddy were his close friend and my cousin... who felt like people were just siding with me because they like me.
I told Dan/Daddy's friend that HE could be Dan/Daddy's partner in games from now on.
I told my cousin he was wrong... People agreed with me because I was RIGHT. (And I am a nice person.)

When I read all the comments to Mr. Eggs Are A Meat, he just laughed.
So I immediately jumped on Facebook again to ask people if he was being stubborn.

Behold the power of social media.

PS... Eggs are not meat.
