My new truck has announced her gender and name to me. Meet Jill!
Big Jack is heading back to Seattle with Riley at the end of the summer, so I’ll have two girls, both Mazdas, hanging out in the garage this winter. (Lucy is my other Mazda :-)
In the meantime, Jack has a playmate. When Jack and Jill went up the hill to get that water, did they do so as siblings, friends or lovers?
Answer: The roots of the story, or poem, are in France. Jack and Jill are said to be King Louis XVI – Jack, who was beheaded (lost his crown) followed by his Queen, Marie Antoinette – Jill – (who came tumbling after). So they were lovers.
Another one for you:
Ring around the rosie, pocket full of posies, ashes, ashes, we all fall down…
Written about the Great Plague. The red Rosie’s with rings around them were the positive signs of the Red Death. Because the smell of death was so prominent people carried flowers to mask the smell of the bodies being burned to ashes.
Back at you:
On the subject of beheading it was the custom that following execution the severed head was held up by the hair by the executioner.
Consciousness remains for at least eight seconds after beheading until lack of oxygen causes unconsciousness and eventually death.
Just long enough for the head to say Screw You!
WHO is beheading who? Love your play mates. Did you find out what Jills ailment was?
I did! You must have missed this post. It was the catalytic converter…
