My eldest son used to refer to our species as 'Fuming Beans' a good description for some of us!

My son would sing "Oh come all ye faithful, joyful and trifle".
Once, at about 2 and a half, he asked me to sing the song about the 'sturdy piples who rode their bikes and played in the park'. After much head scratching, I realised he meant the hymn "Mothers of Salem": "When mothers of Salem their children brought to Jesus, the stern disciples drove them back and bade them depart ".
A friend's granddaughter goes into her garden to play on her jumpaline.

What stories do other gnetters have?
