Carrie Underwood has said she intends to be a mom but that she’s in no hurry. Nevertheless, there are some cues from her guest shot on the CBS sitcom “How I Met Your Mother” that suggest when the time comes, she’ll be a really patient mom.

Carrie had to hold a baby pig during one scene, and she ended up with pig poo running down the front of her dress. A lot of folks would be disgusted; not Carrie.

“That was really fun,” she insists. “They had an extra dress, though, thank goodness. That was on the first take… and we only had one extra dress. So we [had] to be mindful of that and wrap the pig up very nicely. But it happens, I didn’t mind. It was so cute.”

If she’s that understanding with pig droppings, it’s a good bet she’ll be extraordinarily patient when it comes to potty training her own infant.

In the meantime, the rest of the cast was apparently patient with Carrie who’s a newbie when it comes to acting.

“They knew my limited acting experience, so I don’t think anybody was holding out these high expectations for me,” she says. “If anything I think they were pleasantly surprised, so they probably had pretty low expectations of me when I walked in. But everybody was so great. The vibe on that show is awesome, everybody’s nice. They’re really great, everybody was friends and laughing the whole time, and it was just a lot of fun.”

Carrie, the cast and the pig all appear on “How I Met Your Mother” Monday at 8 p.m. ET.
