[@tracyschrack3797]

My husband use to hate to sing rock-a-by baby to our daughter because of the end... so he made up "And when the bow breaks the cradle will fall and daddy will catch you cradle and all!" So now my kids think thats how it goes and even have fought teachers about that

Rebecca P Wow I never knew being a millennium was an insult. However I believe I am considered a Xennial. Look it up... thanks for the history lesson but I knew that and when my children are older I will explain that to them but for now at five and two I think I will keep the song as we catch them and not let them fall out of a tree...

Rock-a-bye Baby is actually based of from the Indians or other tribes around the world. When the mother goes to get water or work in fields they would hang there little child up on a tree and let the wind blow them prittymuch rocking them calmly. If by accident the branch ends up not strong they would fall but they are ok because of how comfy and patted they are in those basket things.

Dang, you did good with the three princes! I was convinced. Mom used to change some of the nursery rhymes and bedtime stories when she read to us when we were kids. One day she was reading Little Red Riding Hood and we told her the story was wrong because the wolf is supposed to eat Grandma and then the woodsman cuts her out of the wolf. Mom was like, "How do you kids know that when I never read that to you?" I don't even remember how we knew. Must have heard it from some other kids.

Alouette is about plucking a bird for dinner. Most nursery rhythms are trying to teach you something. It was easier in the old days to put it in song or story because they couldn't read or write. So to pass info along and and making it easier to remember.

Even the childrens' nightly prayer: Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take That is the original.

or to warn them, the muffin man was written to warn kids about staying out of Dewey Lane because the muffin man would lure them down with muffins on strings next to his bakery and then kill the kids he killed 15+ kids before he died by choking on a dumpling, the police never caught him. the only way this is spelled correctly is because I have spell check if not.... well with ADHD and dyslexia life is not simple..

[@Autism_Forever]

In my homeland, there are horror nursery rhymes, too. For example, one of the most popular lullabies goes like this "Hush, Little Baby, Do Not Say A Word, Do Not Lie On The Edge Or The Grey Wolfie Will Come And Tear A Piece Out Of Your Side!" One of the most popular songs for children goes like this "One, two, three, four, five, A bunny goes out for a walk. Suddenly a hunter appears And shoots straight at the bunny. Bang bang oh the pain, My dear bunny dies!" I do believe that children material is often written by psychopaths and we can do a favor to our children by committing to a mental ward people who write such material and not reading it to our children.

How timely. I'm an elementary music teacher and just put together a Mother Goose program for our kindergarteners. I wrote some lyrics for a Mother Goose song, now I just need a melody. We're using lots of nursery rhymes, some spoken, some sung, but I have to say I've always liked, "There was an old woman who lived in a shoe, had so many children didn't know what to do. She gave them some broth without any bread and whipped them all soundly and sent them to bed." Of course you need to add a slapstick sound effect on the word, whipped!

[@mikemcconeghy4658]

Oh, my. Broth and a spanking for dinner. Good example.

[@annaalva2320]

I hated that one as a kid because I didn't believe they all needed a spanking at once. The adults would say they all needed one they didn't get earlier. I really thought it was unjust. Maybe the woman with all those children was losing her cookies. But when I'm losing it, I don't beat my children or not feed them right. I might send them to bed early though. This still bothers me as an adult.
