And this is why it is unwise to take one's mother to see Return of the King...

My mom just came into the room and said:

"Is there some reason why the eagles couldn't just have carried Frodo the whole way? Like, from the beginning?"

"... ... ...What?"

"The eagles. Because all that climbing up mountains and running out of food and stuff..."

There is no answer to that kind of question. Augh. I'm definitely not lending her my copy of the book now.

Dammit, now I can't stop thinking about that. Why didn't they just have the eagles... rrgh. Rrrgh.

The answer I eventually came up with was:

"Because then the book would've sucked."
