In the car today we were singing The Farmer in the Dell (as we are prone to do) and when we got to the big finish we happily sang about how "the cheese stands alone." At this, Victoria, in a moment of beautiful 3-year-old empathy, says "the poor cheese is probably lonely. He doesn't want to be by himself. I wish the others would all got stand with him"
Do you remember when you were in school and played the Farmer in the Dell? For whatever reason, the cheese was always the most popular role at my school. I'm not sure why. I can't even remember exactly how to play the game, though I'm pretty sure if you are the cheese you stand in the middle of the circle and dance by yourself. All by your poor lonely self.
