Sudden realization

[astra_nomer]

"Down by the Station" and "Itsy Bitsy Spider" have the same melody. I just figured this out this morning.

I pointed out this profundity to DS1, who simply shrugged and said, "well, you know, the ABC song and Twinkle Twinkle have the same tune, too."

Six and a half, and already jaded.

It's, "see the little puffer-bellies all in a row."

Of course, I never knew what a puffer-belly was until after DS1 came along and became obsessed with trains. Apparently, it refers to steam engines, not fish or birds or flowers or any of the other things I thought of as a child.

Yay, I wasn't *totally* making puffer-fish up. That's reassuring. :)
