What the hell did he do? He was four years old. He never used to cry. Just used to sit next to me and cuddle. l was more of a mother to him than that goddamn pig ever was! Hey, don't talk like that about pigs. They're usually much nicer than people. But they smell like shit. Not true! As a matter of fact, right now l have one in my kitchen that's very clean and smells very nice. You don't have a pig in your kitchen.
