It's all fun and games until the truck comes...

Gracie watches this show called “Piggly Winks.” It’s about a pig, a duck and a cow that are friends as children, told by the adult pig (years later) to his grandchild (or is it grandpig?).

Anyway, it never makes mention of what happened to his buddies. And it makes no sense to me that of all of them, the pig made it to adulthood.

Why rub out the duck? I guess the family (although they never are seen...what is this..Animal Farm?) was snowed in one Christmas and couldn’t get to the market to buy the Christmas meal. Otherwise, who sees a duck as ready cash?

And the cow? He could have been of use for years, and not just as a hamburger.

Why the pig survived, I have no idea. They produce nothing but waste and stench until they head off to the abattoir.

I’m waiting for the reunion show… with pate for an appetizer followed by filet mignon. But without, apparently, bacon bits on the baked potato.
