It’s funny how these things from your childhood just come out of your month so naturally and then you have to put the brakes on and think about them.
The above happened pretty much so like this. (And it’s true that I often ask the boy “are these your ____?” so he can understand that possession is 9/10 of the law.) I stopped in mid-verse, changed it, then switched it to the piggies.
Truthfully, I hadn’t thought about it before, but the whole piggies thing is all about going to the butcher. right?
I’m not even going to think about three blind mice.
It is interesting how cruel some of the baby things are. Little piggie is about getting chopped up, 3 Blind mice lose their tails, Rock a by baby falls out of the tree, Now I lay me down to sleep talks about death.
can one not say “Indians” now?
One can, but it’s most appropriate when referring to those from India.
