The three little pigs

Wttfff is up with the unhealthy, Calvinist shaming in this book?! Hay Pig is a TV watcher - aka he's not just an idiot for building his house out of hay, but also apparently lazy for seeking a rest in front of a - GASP! - SCREEN (insert shrieks of horror). Sticks Pig likes to eat - this is also not okay, kids, and means you're an idiot AND a glutton (and fat, btw - wolf comments on this?!). Brick Pig is just HUNGERING for chores and work to do - and so he gets to cook the wolf and eat him. Good for him?

So I hated this. I just wanted to share the fun fable to my kids. The moral of the story for me was always: invest in cement. Not that resting or eating are somehow sins we should avoid?!!? What nonsense, mamma mia. It's taken me until middle age to realize that needing to rest is a NORMAL PART OF BEING HUMAN, and I don't need to maximize my productivity all the damn time. Also, can we please not start demonizing food at the preschool ages already?
