Nursery Rhymes

The other night I was reading Malia her bed time story with Tyler. I had picked a nursery rhyme book. We came to the nursery Rhyme "Little Miss Muffet". I was not raised with the traditional version of this nursery Rhyme. My mother wanted me to be independent and she started teaching me from a young age. This was the nursery rhyme I was told as a child.

Little Miss Muffet
sat on her tuffet
eating her curds and whey
along came a spider who sat down beside her
and she smashed that sucker flat!

Tyler however was not a big fan of this version. I stated my case as to why I liked it and we moved on. A couple of nights later Tyler was reading the nursery rhymes and this is what he said.

Little Miss Muffet
sat on her tuffet
eating her curds and whey
along came a spider who sat down beside her
and frightened Miss Muffet away.
Then she came back and smashed it.

This reminded me how much I love my husband and I thought I would share.
