The lost piglet has been found! Turned out it was in a basket of hubby's stuff and he found it. Hmm did it go off on an adventure and finally decided to return? Our maid Jane is quite sure she had checked in that cupboard!
Now the issue is... Piglet has been gone 4.5 months and we have grown fond of its replacement, Piglet2. (Never thought we'd have a B-grade drama... you know, where someone returns after a long time away only to find he/she has been replaced and his/her family has moved on!) A lot has gone on since the piglet was lost. Piglet2 has invented new silly songs, has ordered itself a toy, has acquired a kid in Pikachu, has done all sorts of things and been all sorts of places. It sometimes accompanies us in the car with a safety belt on - proudly saying 'Safety pig!'. Sometimes it goes without the safety belt where it would be 'Dangerousss pigggg' in a menacing voice. It carries JE's bag (saying 'strong pig!'), passes things through the house grills ('jail pig!'). It eats ('nyam nyam nyam') and drinks ('sippy sip sip sippy sip sip'). Overall, it is just a very noisy pig. When you see it go to sleep and think, peace finally, it will let out loud snores. And when you ask it to shush and not to be so noisy, it will say plaintively, 'but Piglet... is a quiet pig'.
SE says it has been Piglet all the while, and other creatures interacting with it saw it as a little pink piglet. But for JE and me, it is strange seeing a pink bean-shaped pig instead of the white moomin with a tail.
At the moment, Piglet is the pink pig and 'Miglet' (short for Moomin-piglet) is the white moomin.

Yay! Finally piglet decides to reveal himself. He is a him and not a her, right? Now all 3 are a happy family and SE can write more tales about all 3 and you can help her bind the tales into a scrapbook. Hahahaha SE must have gotten her creative mind from you. I never thought of it as a melodramatic drama where someone returned but everyone has moved on. Good 👍 thinking.
ReplyDeleteFor my girls, by default all their toys are girls haha. For me a toy would need eyelashes/ribbons or something before I'd say it's a girl! Same for Piglet even though I believe it's a boy in the Pooh stories.
DeleteHahahaaa...good that the family received piglet with open arms without any questions ask and life moves on. Hmmm, maybe piglet had enough of "me" time and decided to return.
ReplyDeleteHeh the adventures of Piglet will remain known only to itself!
