Whipped Cream Difficulties

Several years ago, my aunt and uncle came from Ohio to visit us.

Of course, we wanted to show them a good time while they were visiting. The weekend they were here, Fall Creek Vineyards (whose products I wholeheartedly endorse) was having their annual “grape stomp”.

Now, the grape stomp is a family event, so of course they want to have something for the kids. That year, they happened to have a petting zoo.

While we were there, a non-child (I’d estimate his age at mid-20s to early 30s) picked up a little piglet that was running around the petting zoo.

Bad idea. You could hear the piglet screaming for miles around. Ear-piercing screams. And worse yet, the gentleman in question seemed totally oblivious to the fact that this little piggy was squealing at a decibel level only matched by AC/DC concerts.

I sidled over to my aunt and said, under my breath, “Put. The. Pig. Down. And nobody gets hurt.”

From that point forward, “Put. The. Pig. Down.” has become a family code phrase for “Somebody needs to stop what they’re doing now“.

Why do I bring this up?

Clad in a pink jacket and khakis, Young also carried a lamb around for ten minutes of his sermon. “Let’s give it up for the lamb and the lion!” Ed Young said over the bleats of the increasingly agitated lamb.

Put. The. Lamb. Down. Ed.
