I love to hate that Piggie

"Mom, it's a bit funny" 

My daughter told me followed with a funny snort. Most of the parents who have toddlers or a little more than that will understand what my daughter has been watching. 

In case you don't know, Peppa Pig is an adorable, chatty, cute and energetic 4 year old pig with her charming family. She has a little brother George, mommy pig and daddy pig with a big belly. 


But the more I watch Peppa Pig, I hate the little piggie. Why?

  • Peppa Pig doesn't grow up. She has been a preschooler for years.
  • That brit accent.
  • When it rains, there are no muck-filled potholes and traffic jams. There are muddy puddles! The family jumps in them without worrying about messing the house.
  • Peppa and her family have the best house, garden and neighborhood.
  • The family goes to hills for picnics and hops on a camper van anytime for a holiday.
  • She has so many friends who are so different from her.
  • They make pizzas and cakes so effortlessly.
  • Grandpa pig has the best kitchen garden and makes it look all so easy.
  • School projects - ah! piece of cake
  • Birthday parties - smooth
  • The family can eat as much as they like! 
  • They see wiggly worms, fireflies, parrots and the best of nature. They are experiencing childhood as it should be experienced.
Sorry for being this nasty whiny human. I love the show but hate it when I know I can't have even a teeny bit of peppa life.
