One dinner Mom had ham and asked Dad to say the blessing. He said "Jerome the pig had to give a little something up so we could eat tonight".

Sometimes you think to yourself, “I need a change in my life." Then you go to your local grocery store and they’ve swapped everything around and you realise things were just fine as they were.

A bit off topic but I've often wondered when did it change from "He plead not guilty" to "He pleaded not guilty"? Which is correct?

As I understand it both are correct. It is mostly a matter of regional dialect.

But years ago it was always "plead" and now it is "pleaded". I hear it on national news so what has changed?
It's kind of like changing "he spoke" to "he spoked".

This is from dictionary online:
plead
/plēd/
verb
past tense: pleaded; past participle: pleaded
But I think in legal terms plēd pronunciation is wrong (plead as in bleed).
Should be plead as in "bread".
Maybe it's a guilty plea, past tense guilty plead.

"Remember...when you're having your ham and eggs for breakfast, that the chicken was only involved...the pig was totally committed".

I sometimes wonder how many of my early childhood memories really happened. It is sometimes enlightening to compare and contrast old memories of a shared experience with family or friends.
If I'm feeling philosophical, I note the large percentage of my life experience that has vanished from my memory. It makes me realize the importance of appreciating life as it happens. When a moment is over, it's usually gone from memory.
Make sure you dedicate plenty of time to arguing with strangers on the internet!
