They tap for a good tune; they curl for the right moves; they lift us up when we're a tad low; they keep us from falling on our faces. When we're little, there's nothing better than hitching a ride on a bigger set. And when we're older, we try to have the good sense not to step on those of others, figuratively and literally.
A few years back, my own set of little piggies found themselves crushed under the weight of a mid-sized sedan. Eighteen months and many thousands of dollars later, they are again wiggling, curling, tapping and keeping me from face-planting with every step. I am now grateful for them as the funny-looking powerhouses they are.
