Quail egg in disguise

For dinner today, I made sup mang cua (a.k.a. asparagus/crab soup) with quail eggs. Nathan declined the soup and ate rice with thit ga kho gung (a.k.a. ginger chicken) instead. 

Being Linh's son, Nathan loves eggs, so he asked for some quail eggs with his rice. I gave Nathan all of the eggs in my soup bowl (3 total). Linh didn't want to sacrifice his quail eggs, so he gave Nathan a piece of asparagus instead and told Nathan it was a quail egg. 

He ate it and kept asking for more, LOL! I was giggling under my breath the whole time. Asparagus looks and tastes nothing like egg. Nathan kept saying how the quail egg was yummy. When Linh pretended to try and take back a piece of asparagus, he told Linh "Don't take things from kids!"

Note to self, if you want Nathan to eat something new, just call it an egg.
