E-mail from Georgia Lane - Jump Rope Rhymes

My daughter, Rose came home from school today and said that you are interested in Jump Rope Rhymes.  

Here is one we said “back in my day” when I attended a six room elementary school - but back then only girls jumped rope.  
Enjoy; perhaps we’ll hear this one locally, now that I shared it with you and my daughter.
“I am a pretty little Dutch girl, as pretty as pretty can be and every boy in my Putney goes crazy over me!
l have a boyfriend fatty, He came from Cincinnati with 48 toes and pickle on his nose and this is how my story goes
One day while I was walking I saw my boyfriend talking to a pretty little girl with strawberry curls and this is what he said to her
I L-O-V-E love you, I K-I-S-S kiss you
I K-I-S-S kiss you on the F-A-C-E face, face, face.”

Last February, the twin kindergarteners had their picture taken as they pointed to the calendar hanging in their classroom - 

wondering where is our birthday?  
This year they will be celebrating their 1st birthday with 29 balloons and ice cream for everyone in the class this year!
