Kids today have so many toys, games and general learning tools. I had a stick with a string attached. We also had nursery rhymes but I have to wonder at times what kind of demented minds thought them up.
Here's a good example: "Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack jumped over a candle stick."
Jack was obviously a very lonely boy. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have turned into a self-mutilator. I wonder if his parents encouraged him to find friends? Play baseball. Play basketball. Join a cult? But, I'm told they were old hippies who had more important things on their minds such as providing breast implants for chihuahuas. Poor flat-chested little things.
Jack had a sister though. Mildred. When I met her, she called me "white meat" which I thought was a racial slur. Turns out, she was a cannibal. I made the mistake of asking, "Hey, wanna neck?" She bit me.
How about, "Rub-a-dub-dub. Three men in a tub?" How gay is that?
Here's one of my favorites. "Little Jack Horner sat in a corner, eating his Christmas pie."
Just how fat was this kid? They gave him an entire pie?! Not a sucker. Not a cookie. A whole pie? This kid's a walking ketoacidosis. But, it didn't end there.
"He stuck in his thumb and pulled out a plum."
And they took him to the emergency room with third-degree burns to his hand. Obviously, nobody told Rollie-Pollie that it had just come out of the oven.
But I can't talk. I wasn't the healthiest kid in the world myself. I was always trying to choose between Butterfinger or Big Hunk. They were dancers at an establishment down town. But I like the candy too.
I told my psychiatrist that I wanted to talk to him about this. He said, "Sure. Just give me a minute while I put the barrel of this shotgun in my mouth."
I hate doctors.
