Okay, I am going to share something and I know that in the process I am going to open up a can of worms (between Matt & myself). That said, here is the story.
Today, Katie & Alex came upstairs and asked if they could watch a video that has lots of nursery rhymes. I told them that they could watch it. After watching it, Alex came running up and told me about the nursery rhyme that shows our toes. I asked her which one it was and she told me, "you know, the one that says 'this little piggy went to Target, this little piggy stayed home, this little piggy went shopping, this little piggy didn't, this little piggy cried all the way home'". I couldn't stop laughing - I guess I would cry too if everyone else was shopping at Target. What is amazing is that we really don't shop much as a family, so I am surprised that she came up with that story...however, I can see where she got Target from Market and than went on with the shopping theme. Pretty cute.
That story aside...Matt & I have always had a debate. Matt says that the little piggy game starts on the little toe and ends on the big toe...but I keep telling him that isn't right, you start with the big and end with the little. Which way do you play?

Of course you and I grew up in the same household so we would have learned it the same way BUT if you think about it logically, which I'm surprised Matt isn't in this instance, since he's such a logical guy :)...the piggy going to market would be one that is fattened up and ready to be turned into pork chops (he's not going to the market to shop after all!). Thus, you start with the big fat toe FIRST.
Yep, we always started with the BIG toe. It's that runty little toe that goes crying....
We always start with the big toe as well. I like the way the first person presented their rational. :)

AND big toes don't go "wee wee wee" either!
It's been awhile, but I remember starting with the big toe as well. Sorry Matt!
