Laowai

Everyday before she has a nap Claire and I read a book. She has been insisting on The Three Little Pigs – which she calls The Wolf Story – for a couple months now. When the wolf comes into the story she gets under the covers and says aaaaah! When we come to the page with the close-up illustration of the wolf she puts her fingers by his sharp teeth and pretends he’s biting her – ouch she says.

It’s funny because Bea would never ever want to hear this story. It’s the version of the story that comes right out and says “the wolf ate up the first little pig”. Bea would be unable to get over the disturbing aspect of the story – the wolf eating the pig and then at the end the pig eating the wolf for supper.
