Zach made some random comments last week about having seen a cowboy. This seemed odd to us because we have seen no such thing in the Philippines. Then we were driving through Manila yesterday and came alongside a truck full of large pigs. Zach got all excited and said, "Look, Mom! More cowboys!" We were quite confused and reminded him that those are called pigs. To which he replied that in the Philippines they are called cowboys. We were still quite confused until it occurred to me that the Tagalog word for pig is baboy (pronounced bah-boy). Mystery solved!
