Loosers, sneakers!
That, is how it goes, according to Mallory!
My Mother has a sick side. She was singing to Maegan on the porch swing this evening.. Rock-a-bye baby.. on the tree top.. when the wind blows, the cradle will rock.. when the bow breaks, the cradle will fall.. and down will come baby.. cradle and all..
All 3 girls just stared at her, shook their heads, no, no that's not how it goes, Granny, here's how we sing it..
Rock-a-bye baby, on the tree top.. when the wind blows, the cradle will rock.. when the bow breaks, the cradle will fall.. but Mommy will catch you, cradle and all..
*laughs*
Mom looked puzzled, and I explained.. we changed the words a little bit because we didn't like the idea of the baby falling down and going 'splat'. She laughed and sang a version of her own then..
Rock-a-bye baby, on the tree top.. when the wind blows, the cradle will rock, when the bow breaks, the cradle will fall, but Daddy will catch you and throw you against the wall..
That was so wrong Mom! But it did crack Mikyla up, she liked that one, I'll have to watch and make sure she doesn't start singing it like that to Maegan now.. .. Granny's version was worse than the one we 'fixed'! Sick!! Sick, sick, Granny! (it was funny tho, you had to be there!)
