Wednesday Wondering: Rhymes & PTSD

5/22/2024

0 Comments

 
Hello and happy day.

Just wondering.... 
Have you ever noticed the fatalism or violence in many of the rhymes which were fed to us in our early years? Talk about suffering, tragedy and likely PTSD! 
Little Bo Peep - severe loss
Jack and Jill - mammoth tumble and cracked head
Humpty Dumpty - fatal fall
Little Miss Muffet - gruesome scare
And the list goes on.....
Wow!... And to think that with such exposure, we all turned out 'not so bad'.....
