We love pigs at AmoXcalli. In fact, we review Piglit just for my granddaughter Jasmine who loves pigs so much that instead of a princess party for her 4th birthday, she wanted a pig party. Yay Jasmine! She marches to the beat of her own drum and isn't afraid to be herself in spite of pre-school peer pressure to be princessy. She and I review piglit together in our own special series.
I found this article on Washington Post and couldn't resist adding the link to AmoXcalli. Jasmine, we've got quite the list to review. We'll hold off on Lord of the Flies and the like till you're a bit older.

It's been awhile since I had a really good one to share. Today's was a doozie.
At the end of the day, Boy A was by the door tying his new sneaks. Real hot, fast looking shoes. I told him they looked like they ought to have wings on the heels, like that Greek god. "You know who I'm talking about, don't you?" I asked.
"The Red Bull guy?" he replied.
Groan. The curse of popular culture.
So I had to go over to my mythology shelf and check. On the way, I asked Boy B, who was likely to know the answer so I wouldn't have to look. "Is it Hermes with the wings on his shoes?" I asked.
"No, Herpes, isn't it?"
"Uh, no. For sure not Herpes. That's a disease."
When I'm doing my mythology lesson on the underworld and talking about Sisyphus and his eternal task of pushing the rock up the hill, I always get, "Oh yeah, the Red Bull guy!"
Thanks for a great laugh. Have a great day.
Thanks for the smile! That reminds me when one of my boys told me he found a book he was reading in the "hormone" section (humor). That gave me a good laugh!
