Geez Bee-dubya-ell can the "Hole In the Bottom of the Sea" be any worse than "Rattlin Bog"?????

I mean, consider THAT bloody thing for a minute.

There was a flea on the feather of the bird IN the egg in the nest on the . . . . you get the picture!

How the flying F**K did a FLEA get onto a feather of a bird IN that double-damned egg in the first place?????

Have you any idea what that kind of conundrum DOES to the thought processes of a VERY literal-minded 6-year-old Asperger???

I mean - "Hole" did cause me sleepless nights - not wondering about how the frog got to the log and back to the surface and return to the log on a regular basis against all the odds of pressure at deep ocean levels;

No! MY concern was twofold - HOW did the log get into THAT particular hole and WHY wasn't the sea leaking (?Pouring) OUT through the hole some silly bugger had put there!

Then it hit me - and I've been reluctant to go near a beach since (mind you a very healthy fear of sharks doesn't help either)- that bloody log got sucked into that hole by the ocean as it WAS pouring out through the bottom and disappearing into 'God-knows-where'

Try coping with BOTH of these scenario's as a six-year-old - especially when they were two of the teacher's favourite songs!!!

PS - you're not an Asperger as well, are you?
