We sang counting rhymes when we were little. They were just rhymes that were fun to sing. Then we forgot about them... Thirty years later, they are still around... still being sung to babies. I rummage through the drawers of my memory for the rhymes to sing to Loic... The rhymes have a whole different meaning now.

  2. Well... I can tell you that some thirty-five years later, your mum knows one rhyme... They are: "Allons promener DAaaaans les bois, tandis que le loup n'Eeeeest pas la! Le loup est la?!?"... One more time... "Allons promener DAaaaans les bois, tandis que le loup n'Eeeeest pas la! Le loup est la?!?"... One more time... And each time, it's: "Le loup est la?!?"... hmmm... (yeah, yeah, at what time is that wolf going back home exactly?!!?!!"
