44 Eggs

I was babysitting Luke, 4 years old, the other night while his parents went out for dinner to celebrate his father's birthday. Before they left, they said, we could sample the birthday cake which Luke had helped make. While we ate a delicious slice of carrotcake, I asked Luke what they had put in it? Butter, eggs, flour and LOTS of carrots. How many eggs did you use? 44, he blustered, then noticing my sceptical look, he added with a little twinkle in his eye, "Maybe that's too many."
