Unturkey and This Little Piggie

[Guest guest]

Thanks for all the suggestions on what to call Yves Deli slices! I

think we're going to go with " veggie slices " .

 

For This Little Piggie, I change only one word.

 

This little piggie went to market.

This little piggie stayed home.

This little piggie had roast *beans*.

This little piggie had none.

And this little piggie went wee wee wee all the way home!

 

At first, I thought " going to market " meant going to the

slaughterhouse. Does it? My husband convinced me it means going

shopping. :-)

My understanding 'going to market' is going to the

market to be sold (to be be killed and eaten), but as

a child I always thought it meant the super market or

grocery store. We use sanctuary because I used to

work at an animal sanctuary so Parker knows all the

pigs and other animals there. I think most kids would

think store when they here market, but I love

someone's idea of using 'coop'. I think Parker would

assume the 'market' was the 'farmers market'. :-)

I always thought it meant going shopping. I always pictured the piggy

with a basket like Little Red Riding Hood's to bring the food home in.

Given how anthropomorphized animals are in fairy tales and nursery rhymes,

that made perfect sense to me as a kid. In fact, I never thought of the

slaughterhouse interpretation until this thread came up. Whatever the

original rhymers might have meant, I don't think most kids think about the

slaughterhouse possiblity when they hear This Little Piggy.

 

In our house, we just change " roast beef " to " tofu. "

That is my take on it as well. As a child, I never thought it was the

slaughterhouse. I also just change roast beef to tofu or some other non-meat

food.
