Au cas où j'oublierais...

A super duper quick post.
*Au cas où j'oublierais = In case I forget.
10 minutes ago I was fumbling around Word and italicising, bolding fonts...and then Ii came across Elephant...much nicer in Italics. So today's post is just to remind future me to always italicise Elephant.
That's all.


A nice font and an awesome animal (personally I like those of the African variety-they look more 'elephant-ey to me.)

Rhyme time

Woopsy daisy I've been so lazy.


I guess 35 days turned into...35 and a few more?

I realised the other day that I actually don't know all the words to Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Mo...which brings us to today's post.

Come decision time, I'll chant:
Eenie, meenie, miney, mo, catch a tiger by the toe, hmmm hmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmm hmmmm, EENIE, MEENIE, MINEY, MO!

Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Mo
Eenie, meeiey, miney, mo,
Catch a tiger by the toe.
If he hollers let him go,
Eenie, meenie, miney, mo.

During my very deep and meaningful learning experience I also found these other versions...

In the US of A some say:
Eenie, meenie, miny moe,
Catch a tiger by the toe.

If he hollers make him pay,
Fifty dollars every day.
 
Ohh and there's this mini one too::

Eenie meenie miny mo
Please sit down it's time to go

Over in the UK however:
 
Eeenie, meenie, miney, mo.
Put the baby on the po.
When he's done,
Wipe his bum.
And tell his mother what he's done
 
By the way #1.
I put this question to you: how would you spell 'Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Mo '?

By the way #2.
I'm guessing a 'po' is some sort of device to hold excrement?


Hopefully, after reading this post, the next time you chant Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Mo you won't stop at "catch a tiger by the toe".

Quite the insightful post today ey?
