Thanks Beth. I think my favourite part is all the little sobs the leader woman makes during her verse and first part of the chorus. I could never imagine the male leader piggy crying like that at all. Well some men may be inclined to break down to tears under such trauma but women far more so. And it certainly makes it more dramatical. It's really only natural for the female version to be more intensified, isn't it?

That is my faverate part also marty

It sure is great Michelle. And my second favourite part is the exchange between the leader and middle ladies after their buddy falls as outlined in my current signature.
I guess I can use the word buddy for my ladies version can I? That doesn't sound like a male term, does it? I think women do call each other buddy, eh?

Sure! I say that "buddy" works for either gender. I call my friends "bud" every once in a while.

I love the exchange between the leader and the middle piggies, too, but I think the way you did all of the reactions wonderfully... the double takes, the things they said and the things they must've been thinking... perfect!

And I was just thinking in spite of what we discussed before Caroline, I bet such an exchange could very well be said in real life. After all there are some women who would use the Watch your step phrase commonly.
Maybe the leader was the sort of lady who would say it to her buddies even if they were the sort more inclined to respond with "Oh goodness. Be careful."

 

[Skye]

Well of course I'm not saying that it's totally impossible or that she definitely wouldn't say that. I was just thinking, in terms of my personal experience, I don't know too many women who would say that. But, everyone's experiences are different.
