The Three Little Pigs Eat Dinner

Three Little Pigs went out to dinner one night.

The waiter comes and takes their drink order. "I would like a Sprite," said the first little piggy. "I would like a Coke," said the second little piggy. "I want water, lots and lots of water," said the third little piggy.

The drinks are brought out and the waiter takes their orders for dinner.

"I want a nice big steak," said the first piggy. "I would like the salad plate," said the second piggy. "I want water, lots and lots of water," said the third little piggy.

The meals were brought out and a while later the waiter approached the table and asked if the piggies would like any dessert.

"I want a banana split," said the first piggy. "I want a root beer float," said the second piggy. "I want water, lots and lots of water," exclaimed the third little piggy.

"Pardon me for asking," said the waiter! to the third little piggy, "but why have you only ordered water all evening?" 

 You're gonna LOVE me for this.... Hold on to your seat.

At the risk of you never coming back here ever again........

The third piggy says - "Well, somebody has to go 'Wee, wee, wee, all the way home!" 

 Thank you Calamity Jane!

Toilet paper as pins and a small pumpkin to roll use a nice round pie pumpkin and cut the stem off.  Then  bore three bowling-ball-type holes with an apple corer.  Using toilet paper rolls make a nice grand reaction to being bowled over.  But ghost-white paper needs the faces.

Martha Stewart Living, March 2007

Here's a mending must-have: A simple business-card organizer (from an office-supply store) that keeps all the fixings for your clothes in one place. Label and tuck your spare buttons, thread samples, cloth tags, and even those scratchy fabric-care labels you snip off garments (or pillows and blankets) into the compartments. It will be a snap to find them later.

Can you believe these beads are made with bread??? Martha S has a great recipe to make them.
