I don't remember what started this, but while eating dinner at Mom and Dad's tonight for Dad's birthday:
Madelyn, pointing to herself: Piglet. [pointing to Alyson] Piglet. [pointing to Tony] Pig. [pointing to me] Pig. [pointing to Mom] Pig. [pointing to Dad] Pig.
Tony: Hey, Madelyn. [pointing to Madelyn and Alyson] Piglets. [pointing to himself and Dad] Hogs. [pointing to Mom and me] Sows.
Madelyn: What are hogs and sogs?
(Note: I wasn't sure that Tony was right about hogs being male pigs, so I looked it up. According to one website I found, he wasn't really wrong, but more correctly boars are male pigs, sows are female pigs who have had a liter of piglets, gilts are female pigs who have not had piglets, and there were other names for different castrated male pigs. Go figure.)
