Politically Correct Nursery Rhymes

My grandmother gave me a stack of books for the girls that she had when I was their age. 
It's pretty awesome to read them to the chirruns and reminisce about my grandmother reading them to me.
And also entertaining to compare the times.

For example:

This would never fly these days. If this was published now, you'd have PETA, DFACS, English teachers across America, the police, and a psychiatrist all demanding that it be removed.
In fact, if it was written today, it'd go something like this:

Tom, the Piper's son,
rescued a pig from becoming bacon.
He went home to eat tofu-bacon,
his Daddies sent him to time out to think about his actions,
and Tom was a good little boy who told his psychiatrist all about it in therapy.

yeah. these times are scary y'al.

Quick Update

Just thought I'd drop in for a quick update.

Sasha is feeling great and Greta isn't allowed to go near her. Mama Breakfast is hopefully pregnant and we should have some bunnies soon. But We thought Dinner was pregnant last month and she even got fat, and then, what the hey--no bunnies. 

Lillee has molars now. 2 of them, that I know of.

Maddy is HILARIOUS. Like, for real, y'all, SO funny. She says things like "hey, Mama. Let me have that booby"...to which I say "No, Maddy, Lillee is eating right now. That's for Lillee to get milk, not Maddy"...to which Maddy responds, " No, Mama. yee not need boobie. Give it to me."


Oh lawdy, y'all. I just had to take a short break to go spy on the neighborhood. There's this teenage girl who can't get along with her parents that lives a few houses down and apparently she ran to another neighbor's to call the police on her mama. Now the Mama is cussing at the neighbor and the girl is running towards the highway hollering.

Y'all...these people are crazy. I'm gonna go enjoy the entertainment for a bit.

kbye.
