Has anyone ever paid attention to how bad and evil they are and how they can promote fear in children?
Example:
Humpty Dumpty
Sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty
Had a great fall
All the kings horses and all the kings men...
Couldn't put Humpty back together again.

Yeh, or ring around the rosie was about an illness...We do that one all the time...maybe I should think past tradition to what I'm actually speaking over my kids. Change the words. Because yeh, some were made for war history and things.

Rock-a-bye Baby....when the bough breaks the cradle will fall and down will come baby cradle and all....

Yes and I've read several old fairy tale stories! They were not so innocent in old times and children were apparently not sheltered from anything. Thought i would make memorable moments with my children one night by reading them Bluebeard.

Seems innocent at first. "And then he opened the closet door and... And... Oh. Okay. That's it. The end." Then turn the lights off with a horrified look in my eyes.

Yousician! It's like guitar hero. And I think you said you wanted to learn keyboard or piano, there's a setting for that too. I meant to tell you but kept forgetting.

I'll have to check the app out. My piano is at my old church's annex. The youth use it. I'll buy one if I do not think I have one, but I really can take care of a guitar in the house a lot easier right now then my piano keyboard

I like the tongue twisters. Peter piper, jack splat

I read that The Three Blind Mice is about 3 men who were some of the first protestants and were burned at the stake for heresy.

I worked on my rainstick a bit today. I want to find some good leather to cap it off when I'm ready...instead of just some cut pieces of wood.

If I hear about the three little kittens who lost their mittens one more time....

They all do and I've read all of the real versions. Fun fact: Cinderella got the name from cleaning under the cinders all day. None of the stories are the same. And the real story of Snow White, the witch doesn't knock her dead with just an apple, she entices her with all kinds of gifts trying to knock her out with all kinds of things like stay laces that are too tight and a poisoned brush. Actually has an interesting point to it to not be lured into things that can actually be harmful, and the witch is always harmful. In Disney the evil is always made out to be powerful and "attractive."

There is a Christian Nursery Rhyme Book that rewrites the nursery rhymes and makes them have positive outcomes.

Jesus is coming back again
Back to again
Back to again
Jesus is coming back again
The whole world to save

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall; Humpty Dumpty shouted, "Amen! God can put me together again". This lovely illustrated collection features the most well-known and beloved Mother Goose rhymes, all beautifully enhanced with a gentle religious message. ... Google Books

Well, do we get to see it? :D

Uhhhh all I did was cut it to the desired length and smoothed it out a bit. I still have to sand it down, cut it down the middle, gut it, drill it, tooth pick it, glue it, paint it, laquer it, seashell it, cap it, etc...

Did you see my other one that I painted?
