Porky Perspectives: The 3rd little piggy had roast beef—not all piggies are vegetarians. And some do go wee-wee-wee all the way home—deal with it!
Porky Perspectives: What Nursery Rhymes Really Teach Us About Being Yourself
“This little piggy went to market, This little piggy stayed home…”
And then there’s that third piggy—the one who had roast beef (not a vegetarian, apparently), and the wild one who went “wee-wee-wee” all the way home.
Was it an adrenaline rush? A roast beef high? An existential piggy crisis?
Whatever it was, this rhyme isn’t just random nonsense—it’s surprisingly deep.
Because piggies, like people, are all different—and that’s the point.
Let’s remix this nursery rhyme and unpack the porky wisdom behind being fully, unapologetically YOU.
1. Diversity Is Natural (Even Among Piggies)
Not all piggies prefer tofu.
Some are early risers, others are night owls powered by caffeine and chaos.
And yes—some go “wee-wee-wee” after a long day because… they’re just feeling their feelings. Okay?
The lesson?
✅ Differences aren’t just normal—they’re FUNomenal™. ✅ If every piggy (or person) acted the same, life would be a snooze-fest.
2. No Judgment, No Side-Eye
We’ve all given Karen the stink-eye for putting pineapple on pizza.
Or questioned Dave’s decision to wear socks with sandals in July. (Respectfully… why?)
But here’s the thing:
That nursery rhyme doesn’t roast the roast beef piggy.
It doesn’t shame the one squealing with joy on the way home.
It just says: “Here they are. Deal with it.”
A little less judgment, a little more curiosity—that’s how we grow.
3. Use Humor as Your Superpower
The genius of the rhyme? It’s silly on purpose.
And that silliness invites us to laugh WITH the piggies—not AT them.
Life’s too short to take every quirk seriously.
Next time someone’s behavior makes you tilt your head and say “Huh?”—maybe smile instead of sighing.
Ask yourself: What’s their roast beef? (Metaphorically speaking. Please don’t ask that at vegan brunch.)
4. Channel That “Wee-Wee-Wee” Energy
Let’s not overlook the final piggy—the one having an absolute moment on the way home.
Was it chaos? Yes. Was it authentic? Also yes.
That piggy is a whole vibe—a reminder that joy, energy, and embracing your weird are nothing to hide.
We’ve all got a little “wee-wee-wee” inside us. Let it fly.
✍️ Note to Self: Life’s too short to be anyone but you. Roast beef, “wee-wee-wee,” fuzzy socks and all. And if someone has a problem with it? Well… they can just deal.
The FUNomenal™ Finale: Celebrate the Porky Perspectives
At the end of the day, this nursery rhyme isn’t just about piggies—it’s about people.
It’s a reminder that differences aren’t just okay—they’re what make us interesting.
So, let’s celebrate the roast beef lovers, the “wee-wee-wee” enthusiasts, and everyone in between.
