I don't know if this has already been posted, but has anyone else heard that they added another verse to Humoty Dumpty, as it was so tramatic for little kids? Someting like:
"Humpty Dumpty opened his eyes,
Falling from the wall was such a suprise,
Humpty Dumpty counted to ten
And Humpty Dumpty got up again"

What do you think aboiut this?

I'm being serious. Seriously. When have I not been serious?
Yeah, I know it's a bit weird, but apparantly kids got too scraed by the fact that Humpty Dumpty was dead and "couldn't be put back together again", so they scrapped that line and made it happy.
I thought that the point of Mother Goose was to scare kids?

Let me guess, this is a work of an overprotecting american yuppieparent?

The kind who think the "Baby on Board" sign is the most clever thing ever made.

So now kids think they're invulnerable: falling from walls doesn't matter, since you'll just open your eyes and go on about your business. This is really sad....

Exactly, and if you bring a gun to school and shoot your best friend he is just going to open his eyes again and everything will be okey...

[/QUOTE]I know. At least the old version, even though it scared people, even me, (yes, I was very upset by that nursery rhyme) did spread a good message.
And a gun...?
