Pig Pig Grows Up


by David McPhail

Pig Pig was the baby of the family and he liked it that way.  All of his brothers and sisters had grown up and left home long ago, but Pig Pig stayed.  He continued to sleep in his crib, eat in his high chair and get pushed in a stroller by his mother.  
Pig Pig's parents tried make him grow up by packing up his baby clothes and buying him a real bed, but Pig Pig screamed and cried until his parents gave in and never spoke about Pig Pig's growing up again.
It wasn't until a misadventure on the way home from the market that Pig Pig realized it was time to grow up.

A lesson to be learned for kids who still want to be babies...and adult children who want the same thing.
