On a lighter note, an Oedipus moment.

I swear, I do NOT recall this incident, but Mum and Da loved to repeat it, especially to girlfriends I brought home.

Apparently, I was around 6 or 7 years old and helping Da in the stys. I saw two pigs rutting and asked my father what they were doing.

'Making piglets,' he answered.

'Baby pigs?'

'Yes, son.'

*pause* 'Da?'

'Yes?'

'Is that where people babies come from?'

'Tis.'

*pause* 'Da?'

'Yes?'

'Is that how you and Mum made me?'

'Yes, and all your brothers as well.'

'Isn't fair.'

'How so?'

'Mum gets to walk round the mucky sty with you on her back, and I have to wipe me feet before I go inside.'
