I'm fixin' to bust out with the jump rope myself.

 

[Bawkadoodledoo]

all my life i haven't learned how to jump rope because when i was like 5, i tried and did a really hard faceplant onto the concrete.

 

[BFeathered]

Bawkadoodle, come to TX. We'll teach you how to do it without the facial scarring- maybe my 11 yo dd can help, she's pretty good. Thanks for the memories Miss Prissy!

The Daring Book for Girls has like 20 of these...

Oh my goodness! I go off to buy groceries and you guys are playing without me! We need to have a BYC convention just to jump rope together.

Thanks for all the great rhymes! I'm familiar with some of them, but others are new to me. Won't it be fun to play those with the girls! Y'all are fabulous!

Envirogirl- I'll have to go find that book. It sounds perfect for the nieces. They are very daring!

The Daring Book for Girls and the matching book for the boys are books every child should have at their fingertips while growing up. We purchased the girls book and at the same time got the boys book and have it waiting for my 2 yr old DS to come of age to enjoy it.

Envirogirl - they all might be in the book but they were in my childhood and my oldest DD's childhood first

I used to jump rope a lot, but I have never heard any of these rhymes.

Has anyone seen Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds"? There are some kids jumping rope singing a rhyme, but I can't make out the words as it isn't very clear. I was wondering if anyone recognized the tune and knew the words.

Hmmm we were not good kids growing up. I don't know how appropiate this would be but here it is...


miss suzie had a steamboat
the steamboat had a bell
ding!ding!
miss suzie went to heaven
the steamboat went to
hello operator
please give me number nine
and if you disconnect me
i'll chop off your
behind the refrigerator
there was a piece of glass
miss suzie sat upon it
and broke her little
ask me no more questions
tell me no more lies
the boys are in the bathroom
zipping up their
flies are in the meadows
the bees are in there hives
as miss suzie and her boyfriend
are kissing in the
dark dark dark dark dark!
darker than the oceans
darker than the seas
darker than the underwear
my mommy puts on me
i know i know my ma
i know i know my pa
i know i know my sister
with the forty acre bra!
my mommy s godzilla
my daddy is king kong
my brother is the stupid one
who made me sing this song!

 

[MissPrissy]

I had forgotten that one, hollie LOL

I always got this one confused with Miss Suzy and her steamboat:

Miss Lucy had a baby
she named him Tiny Tim
she put him in the bathtub
to see if he could swim!

He drank up all the water
he ate up all the soap
he tried to swallow the bathtub
but it wouldn't go down his throat!
