Because there were not enough eggs for Mum to take down to them when she saw them. As the chief egg layer at the moment I feel that I am best qualified to explain this. I have been laying one egg a day for ages (well, at least since I gave up being broody the last time). Fried is, as usual, a law unto herself and has stopped laying solid eggs again, but will sometimes lay softies. Spoon has not laid an egg for the last TWO days. Well, if she has, Mum has not found them because they are certainly not in their normal place. Thus, there was a shortage of eggs to take to Granny and Grandpa and Mum is concerned that there may not be enough eggs for her to have her usual egg salad each day next week.
On the positive side, Mum came back with a plant to put in her classroom. Unfortunately we were unable to see it since she has left it in the car, but she says that even we can't destroy this one. Apparently it is a fake plant. She explained to us that this means that it looks like a real one but needs no maintenance at all. Which given Mum's track record with plants is probably a good thing.

Spoon - you slacker!
