Story of the 3 little pigs


I was reading EggEgg the story of the 3 little pigs one night...
"First the big brother pig builds a house with hay. Then the second brother pig builds a house with wood. The youngest brother pig builds a house with bricks (磚頭)."

"EggEgg, do you know what is a brick (磚頭)?"

Confidently, EggEgg points to his head. 
Huh? What does a brick has to do with his head?
Then I suddenly realised what he meant:  he reckons 磚頭 is "head"!

(We've always referred to his body parts as 豬手, 豬腳, no wonder why he thinks that his head is a 豬頭.)

As they say in Cantonese, 蛋蛋正一豬頭丙.
