There was a little girl
who had a little curl
right in the middle of her forehead.
And when she was good
she was very very good;
and when she was bad she was — DADDY! STOP IT I DON’T LIKE IT WHEN YOU SAY THAT!
There was a little girl
who had little curl
right in the middle of her pants.
And when she was good
she was very very good
and when she was bad she would dance.
THAT DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE.
There was a little girl
who had a little curl
right in the middle of her belly.
And when she was clean
she was very very clean
but when she was not she was smelly.
I DON’T LIKE THAT ONE EITHER.
Okay, I’ll go do something else then.
STOP NO COME BACK MAKE UP MORE RHYMES
There was a little girl
who had a little curl

And when she was born
she was very very born
instead of being hatched from an egg.
WAIT, WHAT
When Hannah is concerned about monsters in her room at bedtime, Rob tells her he doesn’t allow monsters in the house and he gets out a box to gather them up wherever she says they are. Then she watches him take them out to the recycle bin. One morning she asked where the box from the night before was.
Rob: ”I put it into the recycle bin so that we wouldn’t get any monster cooties.”
Hannah: ”But they didn’t have any pooties. They didn’t even need to go to the bathroom.”
Speaking of bathroom humor, here is one from potty training land. Rob took Will to the public bathroom and took advantage of the opportunity for another lesson in standing to pee. Will said, “Wow! It falling down like rain!” And when Rob flushed Will said, “Bye-bye rain!”

Hannah really enjoyed the up-close views of the giraffes and elephants. Upon seeing them she cried out, “Oh, it’s so romantic!” to the amusement of anyone within earshot.
“Let’s stop running. My stomach hurts.”
“Okay. You can put your hands on top of your head, and point your elbows up, and the muscle in your stomach that hurts will stretch and feel better.”
[We both walk around for a minute stretching.]
“Let’s run some more now!”
“No, let’s wait a while. I’m tired too.”
Astonished: “Are you feeling what I’m feeling?”
“If I got eaten by monkeys, who would be Hannah?”
