Over the weekend, Girl Wonder and I watched Babe. You know, the movie about a sheep herding pig?
Something about the tiny piglet triggered a question in the dark recesses of my girl’s little brain.
“Mom, how can you tell if a pig is a boy or a girl?”
This is not the first time we’ve talked about “mechanics”, but having no brothers she’s still a little vague about it all. I should have pointed things out while we were at the farm, (everyone! gather round, check out that horse’s…) but, well…eww.
So I explained about the pig’s bits, using correct terms (gag) in a casual manner.
But, honestly people, there is a better way to discover the sex of a creature.
In my experience, if you take an animal to Home Depot and it wants collect paint cards, it’s a girl.
However, if it does something like this
in an effort to collect discarded “tools”
the animal is undoubtedly a boy.
The end.
