To entertain you, Peg Peg has been trying to teach you the words and movements to "The Itsy Bitsy Spider." The flaw with this plan is that she doesn't know the words herself, and refuses to learn them. Sometimes the sun comes out, sometimes the sun rains down, sometimes the spider climbs the spout, and sometimes it climbs the rain. You think it's funny as heck, but it makes me want to bang my head on the brick walkway, Laney-style.
This is the same woman who thinks the words to "Christmas Time's A-Comin'" are:
Christmas Time's A-Comin'
Christmas Time's A-Comin'
Christmas Time's A-Comin'
And I don't know the woooords.
You would think that sometime in the past thirty years or so she would LOOK THEM UP, but no.
One day, you're going to learn the real words to the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and you're going to be very perplexed.
Yeah, like that.
Love,
Mom
Who didn't see THIS coming?
ReplyDeleteThe itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout.
Down came the rain and washed the spider out!
Up came the sun and dried up all the rain,
And the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again!
The biggest trouble I had was getting 'agin' to rhyme with 'rain'.
