I'll huff and I'll puff

I was just looking up some ideas for my week of "Three Little Pigs" since we are, after all, studying the letter P. You know the drill, 3 pigs, 2 get eaten by the wolf, the 3rd one wins because he's smart and he takes his time and builds a quality home. Some teacher somewhere thinks it's a nice idea to make "Pigs in a Blanket" with your kids as part of the book study, as if wrapping up little wieners in Pillsbury dough is somehow cute. ARGH. First of all, it's like turning your kids into the freaking wolf (EATING THE PIGS?!), also, how many 5 year olds understand 'smokies' come from pigs, and WANT to know, and third of all, GROSS. We will NOT be making Pigs in Blankets this week. Nonono.
