A pig from Where!?!?! OK, here's the set up. We have a lovely 10 year old girl come to stay with us from time to time. She's a very sweet girl, very smart, and loves to play games. We were playing Skip-Bo with her while she was here on Labor Day weekend, I think it was Saturday night, and I was taking an especially long time in one of my turns. After a while, she and Johan started staring at me in that "we're trying to make you laugh" kind of way. I looked at them, and then took longer than I had to. Moments later, out of the blue, she said "We're staring at you like we're pigs from Mars". My world stopped. I looked at her and said, between bursts of laughter, "Did you. . .*laughlaugh*just say*laugh* pigs from *laughlaugh* Mars?!?!"I could barely breathe. She was laughing kind confusedly by this point, saying "What's so funny?" It was a good 20 minutes before I could think, let alone breathe, well enough to actually take my turn. That whole "It was funny because it was unexpected" thing? Totally true! :D Joy
