Mary Had a Big Black Sheep?

Since Kieran was born, nursery rhymes have been revisited again. We sing them to him while putting him to sleep.

And sometimes we struggle to remember the words, or get them all mixed up.

Mum's version of Three Blind Mice:

Three blind mice (x2)
See how they run (x2)
They all ran after the farmer's wife
and cut off her tail with a carving knife
Did you ever see such a sight in your life
as three blind mice.

The tail of the farmer's wife???
RT thinks it's too much of a tongue twister.

RT's version of Incy Wincy Spider:

Incy wincy spider climbing up the wall
Incy wincy spider had a great fall

???

My dear husband, do you mean Incy Wincy Dumpty??

Try singing them and I'm sure at some point you'll get stuck. And somehow, the girls are better at it. I'll leave you with a few titles. You go try. It's quite fun, really.
