While taking our walk
I started singing lullabies in between kisses to my sweet boy.
I got to the classic:
"Rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall
And down will come baby, cradle and all"
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall
And down will come baby, cradle and all"
Yikes. I'm not singing that again! I get that apparently/ rumor has it - it was social commentary, it's a metaphor for birth, or poetic way of describing "falling asleep"...but to me it just sounds like a nightmare. Although I've always loved this song, the mere idea of Neiko falling out of a tree is super disturbing.
No more singing that song #anotherwaythatmotherhoodchangedme
