Rhyme Time!

The Broncos lost their playoff game. All hopes of a Superbowl win are now crushed. Through all the embarrassing seasons and even more embarrassing coaches (yes, I'm referring to Josh McDaniels), everyone knows that, if you live in Colorado, you love the Broncos. It's kind of a package deal. 

Now that that is off my chest, after the game me and Ryan were taking a little walk down memory lane and were trying to remember all the Bible nursery rhymes that we grew up with as kids. Some we could completely sing by heart. There were others that took some jogging of the memory. 

For example I couldn't remember "Put your hand in the hand." I don't know if any of you can, but the only version I could remember was my dad's special "revised" version to keep us from touching the fan when me or my brothers were sleeping on the top bunk growing up. 

The original lyrics look like this:

Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself and you can look at others differently
By puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from Gallalee.

My dad's revised version:

Put your hand in the fan and you will lose some fingers

Put your foot in the fan and you will lose some toes

Put your face in the fan and you'll look at others differently

Put your body in the fan and change your anatomy.

I wish I could describe the way my husband was looking at me as I sang this...by heart I might add. He told me I'm my father's daughter. He also told me not to sing that to our children. Go figure.
