my pig had no ears

I just remembered this little moment, and thought I would share. Jeremy and I were in a marriage and family relations sunday school class a couple of years ago. Our teacher started the lesson by handing everyone a blank sheet of white paper. He asked everyone to draw a pig on their paper, and that was the only instruction he gave. After everybody did that, he then went on to explain what our drawings meant. Here are the two things I remember from that day. First of all he explained that if your pig was drawn at the top of the page that means you are an optimist. If your pig was drawn in the middle of the page that means you are a realist. If your pig was drawn at the bottom of the page that means that you are a pessimist. My little pig was drawn as far down on the paper as it could go. Hmmmm, I knew this class was going to be bad anyway. Then the teacher told us to look at the ears we drew on our pigs. The size of the ears would tell how good we are at listening. The bigger ears, the better listener. Well, my pig had no ears. Did you hear me? My pig had NO EARS!
