Fun article from Nanny.net

Our friends at Nanny.net have posted a really great article called: "10 Nursery Rhymes with Really Weird Subtexts" which features 10 (clearly!) well known nursery rhymes and gives their slant on the meaning behind the words!

Here's an example:

5. There Was an Old Woman

There was an old woman,
Who lived in a shoe;
She had so many children,
She didn’t know what to do.
She gave them some broth,
Without any bread;
She whipped them all soundly,
And sent them to bed.

Oh, that’s just lovely. As if it isn’t bad enough that this dysfunctional family is living crammed together inside of footwear for a home. You would think odor control would be enough of an issue, but now, add to that birth control as well. Topped off with child abuse. Lord help us.

Love it!
