Proof of the absolute Disneyfication of the world
I was asking my 8-year-old granddaughter if she ever skipped rope at recess with two other girls holding the rope.
“Nope. How would you do that?”
“The two girls twirl the rope, and you have to run in and start jumping, and you say a skip-rope rhyme and see how many jumps you can get.”
“Like, what’s a skip-rope rhyme?”
” Well, for example : ‘Cinderella, dressed in yella, came downstairs to meet her fella. How many kisses did he get? One, two, three… as many skips as you can”
“Oh, Grandma, that’s too silly. That can’t be right. Cinderella NEVER dresses in yellow! Cinderella’s dress is always blue!”
