I know this isn't a quote but have you ever watched a child crack an egg while you are patiently trying to explain to them how to just get the egg whites into the bowl (after demonstrating)?
Picture this: a child of 7 years old taking a nice big brown egg out of the carton, watching you (me) crack the egg and add only the whites. He then proceeds to get close to the bowl and you think, ok, maybe he can! And he lifts the hand with the egg up and towards the bowl, closes his fist around the egg... and squeezes. Hard. Not only does he get the yolk and eggshells involved in the bowl, but he mostly missed the bowl. I'd say the majority of the cupcake making process involved a wet dishcloth cleaning up the 3 or 4 egg disasters.
