Funny
makin’ bacon!
YES!!!
Excellent!
Makin’ bacon…. that’s clever. Where are all the Punny people when I’m out??
I think they can just get by at that age by saying their playing.
exactly what I was thinking….’leap pig’…lol
The kid is like “Wait….what ?!”
So, is this a piggy back ride?
hahah.
That’s exactly what my parents told me when I saw two cows going at it. LOL
I took my five-year-old granddaughter to the zoo one day. After observing some baby animals in a children’s section of the zoo, on the way home, she suddenly said, “Grandpa, how does a baby get out of a mommy’s stomach?”
After a few moments of trying to explain, I finally said, “I think this is a question you need to ask your mommies?”
When she is six, she will probably ask me, “Grandpa, why do I have two mommies and most children have a mommy and a daddy?”
I don’t have a photograph to contribute, but somehow I think this fits this blog.
so lesbians are awkward? not cool.
Lesbians are not allowed to be awkward? Why not? Are they special or something?
Actually, Greg, yes lesbians ARE awkward in a family situation, when you’re trying to explain how babies are made to young children.
That may offend some people’s sensibilities. I stress I am making no judgement at all on sexual orientation, but Modesty Press makes a very good point.
I think he was saying that the conversation would be awkward…not the situation…ease up, dude.
Chill, Greg… I think he’s just saying his granddaughter is likely to ask him socially awkward questions related to sex and gender. Are you saying it isn’t a socially awkward question? Because right now, it is.
Modesty, better ask her mommies now what they’d like for you to say when it comes up!
Modesty Press – Yes, of course lesbians can be awkward… but lesbians being awkward only because they are lesbians? that’s not cool.
Morag – answering a question about why a child has two mothers rather than a mother and father is not the same thing as answering where babies come from.
and for the record… i am quite “lightened up.”
BiMom – the only reason it would be awkward is because of any insecurity on the part of the grandparent… that’s my only point. and i totally agree that he should ask his daughter what the proper response to that question should be!
You have to toe the line this day in age when explaining homosexuality to a young child. One thing that you can bet on is much of what a parent tells a child will leak out at school and to the peer group in other settings. If parents in non-heterosexual relationships, or relatives and friends of those parents for that matter, do not properly account for this, the children can suffer miserably.
Sheesh you guys,
Gay, straight or bi–it is granpa’s job to tell his grandkids that babies are vacuumed out of a mommy’s tummy by faeries and they grow there in the first place if you swallow too many watermelon seeds…
When my friends who happen to be a lesbian couple had kids, they anticipated many of these potential hitches and headed them off with carefully-chosen explanations meant to smooth things over.
Unfortunately they didn’t get to some basics in time. It’s hard to anticipate that, at a preschool age, your child might begin habitually referring to every known adult, including me in my full beard at the time, as “mom.” Anyone who wasn’t a stranger got the full mom treatment. Lots of double takes over that.
“Look, Mom! They’re playing leapfrog!!”
Ham sandwich!
HAHAHA i love you.
Rye humor!
My 7-y.o. just read “It’s Not the Stork” cover to cover after asking Mom too many questions about where babies REALLY come from. Perhaps “It’s the Pigs” will make an excellent sequel.
This is gonna be a difficult one to explain
lol! Omg too funny, I literally snorted coffee out of my nose when I saw this.
I’d love to see the little guy’s expression!!
What is wrong with bottom pig’s head?
My son and I were at the San Deigo zoo when he was about 5 years old. The hippos were doin’ it and in his LOUD 5 year old voice he asks “Are they making pregnick?” OMG, what can you do but laugh and tell him “Why, yes they are!!”
My kid brother’s “initiation” also happened at the San Diego zoo, though I guess a couple of ducks going at it in a ditch next to the tour bus would be less impressive than the hippos.
Making more ducks.”
Kid brother (age 3): “What are those ducks doing?”
Father: ”
Me, I first learned from watching our pets. Which were angelfish. Which fertilize their eggs externally. I had some misconceptions for a few years.
“I had some misconceptions for a few years.”
But you have a fertile mind for puns, intentional or not!
BOY: “Hey, I thought there were three of you..!”
PIGS: “Dude, we’re workin’ on it, OK!?”
This is the first comment that actually made me LOL
I was pretty little when my mom took me to visit her family’s farm. She pointed out a horse with a hard-on and said, “That’s his penis, see what’s happening to it? That’s what happens to your daddy when he gets excited. That is how God puts the man’s seed into the woman’s body to make a baby.” Ah, memories. I’m a lesbian, though so my description to my son about where he came from was a bit different, lol.
this is fantastic..
Get off of me, you big hog!
“Hey, kid! We’re trying to make a movie here, OK? An adult movie for adult pigs. It’s a remake of Pigs in Space. Now get out of the shot!”
Blue, 23! Blue, 23! Hut! Hut! Hike!!!
LOL!!!! Great comment!
Mommy…? is that you?
The little guy looks so solemn and thoughtful, but his parents must have been laughing their heads off when they took the photo.
Simple, you just tell your kid that the one is looking for a “piggy back” ride.
They’re “fighting.” I remember seeing two giant tortoises “fighting” when I was about that age.
LOL! – I also remember animals “fighting”…haven’t thought of that for years.
Mommy? I thought it was called Leap FROG?
Leap HOG??
“And this is stop 1 of our 24 step tour of ‘Teaching your Four-Year-Old How Bacon Is Made.’”
Ned Beatty as a child.
“You win the thread!”, he squealed.
Oh hell yeah, cue the banjos!
It’s always nice to see a woman who loves a good pot belly.
Godstone Farm introduces the new children’s ride
They won’t even need to get a book for him now.
That kid is going to ask a lot of questions…
Ms. Piggy’s carreer went downhill after the cancelation of the Muppet Show
They might want to save that picture to show the kid in about ten years when it’s time for “the talk”.
Last summer, we went to the National Wildlife Preserve in Barbados with our then nearly three-year-old son. It was like a tortoise orgy there – and mating tortoises are LOUD!
“Daddy, why are the turtles yelling?”
I couldn’t stop laughing to explain why.
There is a video (probably more like a few thousand) on YouTube that demonstrates the hilarity of tortoises mating. The one I’m thinking of makes me think of a scene from Sleepless in Seattle. I should put that on my iPod for when I feel I need a good laugh.
“Mom! It looks like he’s trying to jump over but can’t quite make it. YOU CAN DO IT!!”
I remeber two turtles at the zoo doing this and with loud grunting noises to go with it .I thought they were wrestling.
Hahahah, Rosie and Tom this is brilliant… so many comments!
xx
I sent my children to preschool on a (county-run, depression-era) farm. Shockingly, we see this all the time (strangely, it’s almost always the pigs) and the kids haven’t even asked about it. This past year, my oldest read a sign about why the hens didn’t have many feathers (ahem – take a stab at WHY the hens don’t have many feathers) and I had to go into more detail than I was prepared for.
I used to have a a little dog ManRay that was fond of humping my big dog Belle. My little boy would always ask what they were doing, so I just told him that ManRay was giving Belle “hugs.” Now when he sees them doing this yells, “ManRay stop hugging Belle!”
This could be the DVD cover for some award winning prestigeous comedy.
Swine Flu, Patient Zero
ftw!
S O M E P I G !
swine floozie?
OMG!
there HAS to be a swine flu joke to go with this, but I can’t think of one.
Is that what they mean by getting “porked”?
SQUEAL LIKE A PIG!!!
well funny indeed
We were at the zoo with our 3-year-old last year and spent about 20 minutes watching a very excited male elephant chase a female elephant around before he finally caught up with her. (Did you know a lady elephant can actually jog when sufficiently motivated?) The act itself was quite impressive and there was a crowd of about 100 people watching this whole thing happen. I thought my daughter wasn’t watching because she was chasing ants down on the sidewalk, but suddenly she piped up nice and loud and said, “Aw, that elephant is riding on her Daddy’s shoulders just like I do!” Awkward.
OMG! LOL! Now THAT is awkward!
the greatest thing about this picture is the fact that the parents decided to take a picture rather than scurry lil’ junior along.
