On second thought, I realize I was being too tough on myself.

I'd give myself an "A" for remembering just about all the words to that 2nd verse of "We Gather Together". I don't think we even sang that third verse. So maybe our teachers took that last line from the 3rd verse and made it the last line of the 2nd verse.

I'm sure that's the way it happened.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Here's a song that I learned as a member of the junior high school choir:

If I eat too much jam
Mother look how young I am.
Parents dear, isn't it true,
You were that way too.

If I'm hard on my clothes
and I do not wipe my nose.
Parents dear, please recall
that at one time you were small.

Tiddley Yum
Tiddley Yum
Tiddley yum tum tum tum tum
We're the younger generation
and the future of the nation.

I think there was at least one other verse. I remember the fun we had performing this in front of students, teachers, and parents.

Does anyone else know this song? I'm not even sure what its name is.
