We were kindly given a set of nursery rhyme and song CDs recently. Our house now reverberates to them at around 7am daily as Oscar has his first kick-about of the day. Forget a bowl of cereal and the Today programme: now it's a bowl of soggy, half-finished cereal and "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush".
And speaking of which: in my detailed study of said rhymes I've noticed some startling similarities. After a few plays, they all start to sound the same. But most alarmingly:
Aforementioned "Mulberry Bush" = "The Wheels On the Bus"
This isn't just my brain jumping to its own conclusions, it's a straight rip-off. Is there something going on here? I think we should be told.

You wait until he's watching Bob the Builder or Fetch the Vet on a continuous loop... the theme tunes lodge in your head like a parasite. I've only ever had it for a week at a time, when my nieces come to stay. Good luck ;-)
