Big Piggy's Life Story

Once upon a time, there was a baby girl, who just hours old had her mommy and daddy oohing and aahing over her little fingers and cute little toes.
As this child grew she learned to walk and use her toes for balance. She loved to pick up things with her big toe and swing them around. Laughing, a big old belly laugh when they went flying off.
Her daddy played the little piggies game with her. He would always use her right foot. As he would start, he would grab that great big piggy, teasinlgy move it to and fro, deepen his voice and say "this little piggy, this one right here went to market."
That big tow was always the first to know when her shoes were getting to tight. Old big piggy would ache and hurt a little to let her know it needed attention.
Weeks before she was to marry a big huge oak door tore part of the toe nail, treatment for it, made the gal think she wouldn't be able to wear her fancy shoes, but biggie old piggy, came to heal just in the nick of time. She wore those fancy shoes and had a great day.
As the day turned her piggies and feet began to ache. Her new hubby rubbed her feet and especially her big piggy because he new it was still sore. Then he began in a teasingly way, "This little piggy this one right here." And if she didn't know it before she certainly knew now, her new hubby was almost as great as her dad.
That big old biggie survived being stepped on, climbed on and even polished by some little girls who thought it would be fun to dolly up mommy's toe.
Poor old piggy wasn't the same anymore. Piggie used to be the leader of the pack, but she was running down and she knew it. The big piggy's keeper and piggy herself did all they could to keep it healthy. A sore started on the bottom of Miss Big Piggy. For months they dressed it cared for it, even got special shoes to help it heal.
Finally Big Miss Piggy was near the end.. A bone infection was getting the best of her. But Miss Big Piggy ever faithful to the end shower the keeper the signs so the keeper would know what to do to save the whole foot.
Now Miss Big Piggy is no more, but her keeper will have be grateful.
So did her new hubby turn out to be as great as her dad? Well, he lovingly looked at the spot where old Miss Piggy reigned, right after Miss Big Piggy was no more, said with tears in his eyes and words showing struggle, "honey that doesn't look so bad!" Then looked again with a twinkle in his eye, "hey can I call her stumpy?" I need once again my hubby quite like my dad is always the man for me.
