the maids were some guillotine like thing far as i know. . .
"ring around o rosies" is about the ring of roses placed around the necks of dead people killed by the bubonic plague

I always sang "You are my sunshine" to my kids, a much happier song.
My kids won't need therapy because I sang them fucked up songs, but I'm sure they could come up with many other reasons.
because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon

We were always taught it was 'atishoo, atishoo' - as in sneezing - since that was supposedly one of the symptoms of plague.
Interesting how we learned different versions.

The children's nursery rhymes and tales. Ah, what the heck. I've never seen any kid too scared by Hansel and Gretel, and the nursery rhymes are pretty cryptic. The "all fall down"part simply sent us rolling in the grass, not to the grave.

QuoteI always sang "You are my sunshine" to my kids, a much happier song.
You must not have heard the whole song then.
You Are My Sunshine
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away
The other nite, dear,
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms.
When I awoke, dear,
I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried.
You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
I'll always love you
And make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me
To love another
You'll regret it all some day;
You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
You told me once, dear
You really loved me
And no one else could come between
But now you've left me
And love another
You have shattered all my dreams;

Hi Moms,
QuoteI always sang "You are my sunshine" to my kids, a much happier song.
I never sang to either of my kids. I always thought that doing so would put them into therapy for the rest of their lives.

On a good day I could not carry a tune in a bucket.

PS) I sure am sending you a lot today.

At my high school graduation the principal's speech dealt with all the horrific nursery rymes we had, and how we all managed to come out okay (relatively speaking...)...
Never thought of it before....
....I'm sure the current generation is going to blame that for their outcome of life...

'atishoo' as in a representation of the sneezing sound, not what you wipe your nose with.


In any case, according to that page the plague connection is probably a myth, and in fact sneezing isn't associated with (bubonic) plague. Interesting stuff though.

Quotemy kids would fall asleep really quick when i sang the theme song to the adams familly..... theyre creepy and theyre kooky and all together spooky. i swear thats true!
Too funny. My boy just hated that song. Just to tease him, I would start it out and he'd always come back with, "Alright, Dad, knock it off."


True story:
When the ex was pregnant with him, I regularly hummed a slow Rock-a-Bye Baby to him while lying on her big belly.
After birth, when he got cranky or restless, I hummed it to him and it calmed him right down...every time. It was especially handy at bed time up until he was about 5 or so and then reading to him at bedtime became more effective.
I don't know if it was the security of a parent in bed with him or just my drone that put him to sleep but it always worked.

Well, after all, the two brothers who penned a lot of those fairy tails were named Grimm . . .
