It becomes one of those things that incorporates itself into the family
culture. It's such effective short-hand for so many situations. The
kids are a lot older now, and living on their own - with partners, some
of them, so we no longer hear "But Daaaaad, that'll take forever!!!"
which always got the response, "Yes, but what's time to a pig?"
Still...suitable occasions occur.
