It made me cringe and then I decided not to think of it that way. I play that with my grandchildren and I like to have fun with it and not be sickened by it.

I wasn't good at jump rope (at least not that good) and I'm sure there are regional differences and rhymes just like there are in language. My funny little ditties were parodies. Little miss muffett sat on her tuffett, eating her curds and whey. Along came a spider and sat down beside her and she beat it to death with her spoon.Alanna Radle Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13907345698828822693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-12906703782496909072016-12-19T20:02:12.755-05:002016-12-19T20:02:12.755-05:00Hi Linore!

But once again, there isn't that historical proof that confirms those links either. I like your explanation too, about the Great Fire. So many explanations! I don't think we'll ever find out. Thank you so much for stopping by. It means a lot to me, girl! You're awesome!

Red Rover, Red Rover is another one I remember on the school playground. And Duck, Duck, Goose! That was a favorite. Thank you so much for reading!

Ring around the Rosie would be played many times as well as Red Rover. Great times, great memories.

I thought I had seen ...Hi Alanna, interesting post. I thought I had seen this rhyme linked to the Great Fire of London in the late 1600s, during Charles II's reign. (The "ashes, ashes, we all fall down," referring to the massive destruction that occurred as a result of the fire). It makes sense the way you've explained it being linked to the plague, though, perhaps more sense than the former explanation.
