chinny chin chin

[Antonnio]

While i was reading a kids' story about the 3 big pigs I found this sentence when the wolf says them - ..let me in...- a pig answers : "no by the hair on our chinny chin chins.."
What does it men "chinny"?,
Pls give me some translation for that senctence...thank you!

This is a children's story (it's actually The Three Little Pigs) written in a manner appealing to children. Not by the hair of our chinny chin chins is just a cute way of saying chins.
El lobo grita "¡Déjame entrar!" El cerdito dice: "¡No por los pelos de nuestras barbillitas!" algo así.
It reminds me of a saying I saw in a children's book in Spanish that said sube que sube (up and up). It's just a way of talking to children.

thank you but the story I read it's a modern one about the old little pigs but in that tale they are called the 3 big pigs... and thank you very much for your help Jacinta...
