Where Piggies Come From

(at least according to Lily). I love those moments in life that are so genuinely hilarious that even though you may be trying to hold back, all you can do is laugh out loud. But, I am not referring to those horrid times I can't stop laughing when I see someone get hurt. That is a whole other story which I am trying to work on because I have been told it is a horrible trait I apparently inherited. Someday maybe I'll expound but for now, back to where pigs come from...

So I'm driving in the car and Lily and Stew are in the back playing with their usual car toys. Out of nowhere in particular, Lily says, "Cows have piggies in their bums!" I of course thought I heard her wrong and said, "What!?" She said again, like she had discovered this great mystery, "Cows have piggies in their bums!!" Thinking she had been given some incorrect information by some little cousins she had recently played with, I asked, "Who told you that?" She quickly held up her toy cow and said, "See Mom, there's a piggie in it's bum!"

Trying to correct my sweet daughter and not wanting her to be confused in this world was very difficult in that moment. She doesn't seem to take me very seriously when I'm laughing through every word I spit out. So I just enjoyed the moment of my innocent little child trying to learn things on her own. She is very observant and I can't blame her for her own theories on where pigs come from.
