here, son, have some bacon

Charlie: Mama, why do the Weasley’s have pigs?

Me: Food, probably.

Charlie: Pigs, Mama. Why do the Weaseley’s have PIGS?

Me: For food. They have the pigs for food.

Charlie (shaking his head): NO, I do NOT think that’s it. WHY do they have PIGS?

Me: Oh! For magic?

Charlie (laughing): No! PIGS! Why do they have pigs?

Me: Ummmmm . . . pets?

Charlie (nodding happily): Yes, they have the pigs for pets. That’s it.

   Hey, George Clooney did it.

   But I bet he eats bacon, too.

   I don’t know how man times a day I oh so patiently repeat the question, “If you already have an answer, why did you ask me????”

   Good Lord!! Cant they just give us the ending without us trying to fight for it. Happens all the time with my daughter, although it goes something like, “Mommy what was that thing on the thing called?”
   “What?”
   *sigh* “That thing on the thing. What is it called?”
   “I have no idea. Now, be quiet so many can nurse her headache.”

   You think I joke, but I dont.

   At the grocery today, I bought ear plugs, for the weekend. And when Charlie said, “Why are you buying ear plugs, Mama?” I said, “Because I’m tired of listening to little boys who ask the same questions over and OVER.”

   And then (I swear this is true) Henry said, “Mom, why are you buying ear plugs?”

   And my head exploded. The end.

   So, are you saying there’s something wrong with the fact that when I make bacon, I always loudly announce, “Wilbur’s ready! Who wants some?”

   There’s nothing wrong with having fresh pork and bacon live with you. It’s as organic as it will ever get.

   Silly. Of course the pigs are for pets. The rabbits are for food. And the garden gnomes are for entertainment.
