Humpty & Dumpty

We were talking, the boy and I. Before bedtime.

The usual suspects were there. Itsy Bitsy Spider, the 40 Blackbirds and Humpty Dumpty.

Somehow, when Humpty Dumpty fell off the wall, Humpty the little boy and Dumpty the mummy both independantly decided to "fall off" as well.

Humpty's head smashed against Dumpty's head. Dumpty cried out in pain. Humpty said "SORRY!" and started rubbing Dumpty's head, asking Dumpty "IS IT PAIN A NOT?" Dumpty said, "YES! IT'S REALLY PAINFUL! RUB HERE, NOT THERE!" Then Dumpty realised Humpty's forehead was red as well. Dumpty pointed to Humpty's head and asked, "Your head hit me too! Is it painful?" Humpty says, "NO! I GOT BONE INSIDE!"

Well, what can we say?

I've always found that nursery rhyme quite strange. It ends with: And all the King's horses, And all the King's men, couldn't put Humpty Dumpty back together again.

Well here's a hint - next time, don't let the horses have the first try! I mean, what do you expect? They're just horses!

And that's the sort of stuff we're teaching our children? *sigh*

Hahhaaa... normally you wouldn't put any punctuations prior to the word 'and'. Therefore, it was horses and man trying to put the egg back together. Hey, whatever happened to the yolk then???
