Scottish Peppa Pig sends TikTok into hysterics after wife accidentally buys wrong book

Although people love to do everything online from clothes shopping to food shopping, many people also love to now buy books online.

And whilst it's one of those things that people are now buying more frequently due to readying apps and Kindles, there's nothing quite like having a physical book to read.

But it seems as if one person may have not looked at what they were buying online because when the book arrived, it wasn't quite what they were expecting. However it is said to be "infinitely superior to the original English" version of the book.

Taking to TikTok addressing a tweet she came across, a user by the name of @misspunnypennie, who teaches the Scots language, showed the book people were talking about and it's left people in hysterics.

The tweet originally read: "My wife accidentally bought a Peppa Pig book in Scots and it’s infinitely superior to the original English". Looking at what the it said, the Scots woman read the book titled 'Peppa's Bonnie Unicorn' and putting on an exaggerated voice she began reading the book out loud.

One page of the book reads: "Dae ye no think mebee it's Suzy's turn noo, Peppa?" asked Daddy Pig. 'Aye' said Peppa. 'Mon then, Suzy. Ye can hiv a wee shottie on Cuddly McTwinkie-Taes.'

"I dinnae want tae play at cuddies, but" siched Suzy, "I want tae play at unicorns."

"Peppa thocht for a meenit. "Well, Cuddly McTwinkie-Taes is a magic cuddy' she said. "She can turn intae a unicorn whenever she wants tae.'

"Aw' said Suzy. 'Awricht'"

In response to the TikTok, many people found the situation pretty funny and the words on the pages didn't help with it making the TikTok even funnier. So far the video has received almost two million views, 300k likes and three thousand comments.

But as it turns out people didn't know Scots was in fact a language. Taking to the comment section they wrote: "Couple years ago I bought a Scots version of Harry Potter. Didn’t even know it was another language back then, thought it was just an accent."

Another added: "Wait this is a language? Genuinely thought it was just a accent/dialect. Defo better in Scots lol."

"Oh I'm replacing all my kids books with Scots versions immediately" said a third.
