You know when you were a kid and you played games and sang songs? At the time, you probably didn't know how morbid and strange they REALLY were, until you grew up and understood the actual meanings of them. It's a little weird isn't it? That it seems so normal to us as kids but it just doesn't have the same effect when you're older. Like "Ring around the Rosy"? Yeah, I'm sure you know by now that, that song refers to the plague that hit Medieval Europe. Not the best thing to sing about while laughing, but we all did it!
And since when was hanging a man because you couldn't get the right letters for "CAT" a fun thing? As far as I know, the guy's probably like "OMG, FML.....WHYYYY????". But seriously....why? Why are things, that are such a part of our childhood, things that don't mean the same when we're older? For example, the Santa/Tooth Fairy/Easter Bunny talk. (If you're under the age of 6 please don't read this next part) We've all had that talk because we all found out some way or another that these things DO NOT EXIST (if you are under the age of 6 and you read that.......JK). But aren't you glad they don't? Because I don't think I'd like a fat man, clad in red, to come into my house, by some imaginable feat, and bring me presents. Had he been stalking me? How did he know what I wanted? And what kind of a fairy would take your teeth and leave you money? What's she going to use that for? And don't even get me started on the Easter Bunny!
I'm just saying, if we're going to sing songs and play games, they should not promote such horrid things! But you know, we can't always play UNO and sing "You are my sunshine". And we're still going to teach our kids the same songs and games that we were taught, and I'm okay with that.
Until Next Time, Cheemo!
