The Piggy That Got None

Last night my four year old daughter, Tess had a nightmare. Her big brother, Tom, was a toe trapped in her dad's boot. Were you able to follow that? I needed some clarification. Tom was one of Max's toes. She was upset, Tom couldn't breath. I asked her some silly questions, "which toe was Tom, the piggy that went to market or the piggy that got none?" "Could he see and talk too?" "What would he have said,'get me outta here!'" "Was it stinky?" I got her to laugh and forget the scary dream. But I can't seem to shake the thought of one of my kids as a toe with eyes, kinda creepy.
