'Soft Boiled' by Donna M Day

I look down at my descendants with shame.

I ensnared the sands of time in the hourglass and controlled everything and those idiots use that infinite power to boil eggs!

Do they have any idea what it means to rule the universe and all the time in it? Of course not. No, the biggest thing that they worry about is having a hard boiled yolk. 

I have high hopes for my youngest granddaughter though. She’s still young enough to see me and she hates eggs. All I need to do now is get her to come out of her shell.
