Diddle, diddle, dumpling
Diddle, diddle, dumpling,
my son, John,
Went to bedwith his trousers on,
One shoe offand one shoe on!
Diddle, diddle, dumpling,
my son, John!
I chose this nursery rhyme because it reminds me of me when I'm too stressed out and forget things before I go to bed. For example where it says "my son, John,Went to bed with his trousers on," one time I went to sleep with a nice shirt I wore to school instead of an old tee-shirt I usually wear to bed. Another time I wore a hoodie to bed without realizing it because I wasn't concentrating. (I'm paranoid that if I fall asleep with a hoodie I will somehow roll around and the strings will wrap around my neck and suffocate me so usually I do not sleep with a hoodie on.) This nursery rhyme also sounds like something my mom would say (plainly, not in rhyme) to one of her friends because she likes to talk about me and I find it weird that she shares embarrassing things like that I don't want her to.
