Skip a rope
Sunday mornings are DB’s time of the day. He get to listen to his old country songs on the radio. So happened this morning we were in the kitchen putzing around for our usual coffee. This song came on. Listening to it, made me uneasy. I know DB was listening to it coz he was very quiet. After the song was over, I said what an awful song to listen to. He said I wouldn’t know how it is since my siblings and I had not have these environment in our family, our upbringing were a total opposite. He said there were many times he and his siblings had these bad dreams in their sleep. It always sadden me when he talks about his family and the environment he was brought up in.
Skip a rope skip a rope listen to the children while they play
Ain’t it kinda funny what kids all say skip a ropeDaddy hates mama mama hates dad
Last night you should’ve heard the fight they had
Gave little sister another bad dream she woke us all up with a terrible scream
Skip a rope skip a rope…Cheat on your taxes don’t be a fool what was that they said about the golden rule
Never mind the rules just play to win and hate your neighbor for the shade of his skin
Skip a rope skip a rope…Stub ‘em in the back that’s the name of the game
And mama and daddy are the ones to blame
Skip a rope skip a rope listen to the children while they play
It’s not really funny what children say skip a rope
Skip a rope skip a rope

Dawn,
That’s indeed a very sad song. I agree that the way American brought their kids up are very different from the Asian. -
This song really very meaningful and rather sad……must be reminding ur hubby of his childhood and siblings….
