As Told to the Westler Valley Voice by Matta A. Rhymes
THE RHYMES HOUSEHOLD, WESTLER — Alright, my little rascals, most of us know this little ditty from when our parents told it while they squeezed our toes. You must know, as fun as parent's versions are, this was actually a Gramma G story. Well, it's about Gramma G.
You already know when I was just a little one, Gramma G would come over and tell Lori and me our nightly stories. I remember the first time I was told the story of “This Little Piggy”. It was the evening that Gramma G hadn't quite been herself. She seemed a little more tired than usual or perhaps she hadn't had her coffee that day? Whatever it was, I couldn't tell you, but somethin' just wasn't right.
