I have a silly question about "This Little Piggy"?

Question

My son and I are having a little debate. He thinks "This Little Piggy" is one way, and I think it is another. I say it is...

This little piggy went to market, this little piggy stayed home, this little piggy had roast beef, this little piggy had none. But this little piggy was a bad little piggy and went wee wee wee wee all the way home.

My son says it goes like this...

This little piggy went to market, this little piggy went home, this little piggy had roast beef, this little piggy had none. But this little piggy was the littlest piggy of all and cried wee wee wee all the way home.

I know that this is a silly question, but we want to know who is right. Thanks!

Answer 1

your right, but don't steal his joy if he thinks he's saying it right. it really doesn't matter.

Answer 2

You are both wrong,

The last little piggy wasn't bad or little he just went wee wee wee all the way home.

I think that people tend to add things to the story to suite what is going on in the childs life at the time they are telling the story and there is definetly nothing wrong with that.

Take Care and God Bless

According to the Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes

This little piggy went to market

This little piggy stayed home.

This little piggy had roast beef,

This little piggy had none.

And this little piggy went "wee, wee, wee, all the way home"!

I thought it was simply 'But this little piggy went wee wee wee all the way home', but you HAVE to tickle their foot as you say it!!!. My husband agrees. Maybe your son prefers his 'piggy' to be little rather than bad :(
