Hedgehogs for Cracks - a childs interpretation

[TheDoctor]

Tell me it's me that's misheard the lyrics then, please.

I'm afraid you haven't. Sorry.

Twelve year old should be ready for a hand job surely?

That's what I told the social workers, certainly.

When I was at little school, I came home one day just before Christmas and proudly announced that we'd sung "the Trousers hymn" in assembly that morning. When my mum - clearly puzzled - asked me to sing it for her, I sang:


"Glooo-o-o-o-o-o-hoooo-o-o-o-o-o-oooria, hosannah in his trousers".

I honestly thought those were the words.

My little sister thought it was "Susannah (that's my full name) lives in Chelsea..."

Talking of that particular hymn, I notice the Baptists and C of E say "Excel-sis" whilst Catholics say "Ex-chelsis". Should I be worried?

Yes. The proper pronunciation of Latin is vital.

Yes. The proper pronunciation of Latin is vital.

No, the proper promounciation of latin is La-tin....

I was listening to the Kings of Leon song Sex on Fire recently when number 2 daughter (3) started singing along, but she was singing 'My socks are on fire'. Number 1 daughter (7) burst out laughing. I asked her what she was laughing at and she said she was laughing at what her sister was singing. I asked her what the real words were and she said it was 'My satchels on fire'

Oh, the innocence of youth.

One of my ex girlfriends sings in a choir and she tells me they sing "eggshellsis". Otherwise the "ch" sound is too harsh in an acoustically sensitive building like a church. Apparently.

A friends Mum thought David Bowie's 'Space Oddity' had the line; 'This is ground to grow potatoes on.....'.

I just let my kids listen to The Pogues and let them get on with it.

Don't tell my wife though.

She's only just persuaded my seven year old from going round saying "Hell" all the time.

My sister used to get around that by telling her son he could use any word he liked but there'd be trouble if she caught him using the word Piccallilli !! It was hilarious if he wanted to swear when he was angry etc trying to get that word out!

We were all asked to react if he said it, which we did, and it kept him swear free for years!

"Ask your mother"

(If necessary, agree with 'er indores that if similarly quizzed, her answer is "Ask your father".)

I had to stop playing Lily Allen when my 6yr old daughter was picking up too many words to "It's not fair".
