Duuuuhhhh… that’s so simple. Take an egg, break it, show him how it breaks, and then simply tell him that the life of that egg is no longer and never will be again because once it’s broken it is completely doomed.

Ha, that Reed Richards link is awesome. Plus if he gets all stretchy then Eli can get items down from the top shelves for us.
