When I was little, I used to go to this Playgroup thing... it was like preschool, only the 'teachers' were just volunteers. We used to sing all these different songs like I Am The Music Man and Hot Cross Buns and Five Little Men. The one song that I'll never understand though, is Wind The Bobbin Up.
Wind the bobbin up,
Wind the bobbin up,
Pull, Pull, Clap, Clap, Clap.
Point to the ceiling
Point to the floor
Point to the window
Point to the door
Put your hands upon your knee.
What's that even about? How are kids meant to know what a bobbin is? I didn't learn until GCSE textiles for God's sake. My mum says it's just a way of teaching kids new words. I call it a mass of useless words.
We only ever use 10% of our brains to learn. I don't know what percentage of my brain that's taken up, but it's a percentage too many.
