babee tales

What is it about Little Bo Beep that my little babe has issues with? For those of you who have never heard the rhyme, it goes:

Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep
And can't tell where to find them
Leave them alone and they'll come home
Bringing their tails behind them

A perfectly harmless rhyme or so it seems. Nat has been watching a CD with all these nursery rhymes sung in the form of catchy tunes. It's quite good with all the familiar o'le songs, Little Miss Muffet, Old King Cole, London Bridge, Three Little Kittens, Mary had a little lamb. She enjoys it ever so much and sometimes even attempts to dance to the tunes. The only issue she has is with Little Bo Peep. The moment Little Bo Peep comes on screen, she gives her infamous pout and a few seconds later, she cries. Initially, I thought it was just a coincidence but I've tested the theory a few times and have come to the same conclusion. There's something about the little miss that she hates.

Gary is convinced that it's because Bo Peep is in the form of a racoon in the cartoon and nat is frightened by the 2 black eyes (sort of panda-like) but i wonder ... she really looks perfectly nice and harmless ... oh well ... I guess this is one rhyme i ain't gonna hear nat recite when she gets older.
