When I was a little boy at my mother's knee, she used to sing to me:
"Little girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice.
Little boys are made of snakes and snails and puppy dog tails"
The trauma from repeated listening to this must have been so extensive that here I am, a lifetime later, still without a successful relationship!
Thanks a lot Mom!

A Grandmother is someone special in your life Someone who always has time, Time to listen, time to play Time to visit the zoo Time to linger and look at the things I want to do Time to laugh, time to sing,Time for me, her grandchild, just to be Time to read, time to walk Time to let me just play at the dock.
Your grandmother looks really adorable, I haven't seen such a pic of my grand mother. Your really are lucky.
"Little girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice.
Little boys are made of snakes and snails and puppy dog tails"
These words are really awesome.
The words are NOT awesome! They are a lie :-)
My Mother should have warned me that there is at least a little bit of snake in little girls (and big ones too!).
Maybe it wasn't the age to tell you so, and I think your mother knew that you will learn that by yourself
I never even got to see or know my mother not to talk of grandmother, I guess I hardly know how these memories feel like @onceuponatime
Your grandmother was Little Red Riding Hood? And was your grandpa the wolf? Is that why your mum sang this rhyme to you?
By the way, my grandma would sing things that went like:
"those juicy lemons look like my grandma's breasts" (in greek it rhymes). Apparently early hearings take their toll on adult life!
Apparently they do!
And for sure my Grandfather was a wolf, but also a snake charmer!
A wolf and a snake charmer? He mut have been a hybrid?😀
Mysterious creatures those ancestors! :)
I wonder what their descendants were like...
@ruth-girl this what I thought too
lol
Lol! ^_^
As Robert Greene would say, we all have unfinish business from childhood. We can either seek help or learn how to deal with them in order to subside their effect on us.
Sounds like he knows what he is talking about!
Your grandmother is sooo beautiful in that photo!! :))
Regarding the "cute" song... I guess not all girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice :P Same for boys.. That's a bit misleading :)
"a bit"
LOL
Oh my!. Mama lied huh? Hahaha. She must have her reasons I guess. At least you have @twiceuponatime
Do you think that @twiceuponatime will stick with me to the end? For better or for worse? I don't trust him!
Hahaha I think he will. He might annoy you a little bit more, try to take credit for your hard works or take some girls away from You, but he doesn't look like he is going away anytime soon.
I don't trust him too hahaha...but I think he will stay.
Same here had to learn all that on my own. Could save me so much time hahah!))
Well... your grandmother on the photo is a very beautiful little angel when she was a child. So no snakes there.
Your grandmother in this photo as an illustration to the fairy tale "Little Red Riding Hood". Even the grey wolf is near! Well, about the song, don't blame your mom for the injury. Most likely, mothers sing that girls are made of sugar, so that boys take care of girls and dream of a sugar kiss)))
You are so romantic!
:)
Beautiful photo. it may be God's will, not to have a successful relationship :(
i wish you all the best from now on..
God does seem to have a sense of humour, eh?
He may be not have sometimes... :)))
Gorgeous photo and I am not just saying this to flatter you. Actually, your grandma looked like a beautiful girl from a German fairy-tale of the 18th century. A real treasure that photo is!!!
But she was Irish!
I love old pictures!!!! She looks like Little Red Riding Hood and the dog is so cute!
I see so many situations, where our parent's behavior affect us so badly...
But it's never too late to change that!!!
Never too late? You are hopelessly optimistic LOL
Bhwhahahaha why would she do that xD
that's like destroying a relationship even before it was born.
Wow, she looks pretty cute.Well I think you are a best grandson.Thanks for sharing such an amazing post.
A Grandmother thinks of her grandchildren day and night, even when they are not with her.She will always love them more than anyone would understand...
lucky you that you have got her back, anyways nice lil kid in pic
Really excellent photo my dear friend and Testing Steepshot for the first time.

Haha
She wanted to make you strong for this world
As we say, by fate you will not leave and you will still meet your second half. Maybe she already was and you let her go. Choose the heart and everything will turn out. And the song does not have to be just a song :)
Thats some cool lines. Well you had a great time in childhood. Wonderful to hear such lines. Lil Girl is so cute( Your grandmother)

@onceuponatime, What a impressive thoughts your mother sung to you. I'm pretty inspiring this moment. When I met Biggest person is grand mother.
My greand mother forever my life.
I must say that your grandmother made the 🐕 and place look amazing...
Vintage photos are so cool. Thanks for sharing some of your history.
That's funny song by your mom Sir
She sang the song Maybe because most boys are always tough to control
its really great writing
Aww I am so sorry - I also heard that nursery rhyme when I was a child. I even use to say that but not around my brothers. I have a book of nursery rhymes and when my children saw this nursery rhyme they thought it was mean. My son asked me why it was even made. Then they discovered that more english nursery rhymes are not so nice.
I am sorry @onceuponatime - these rhymes have a nice rhythm (that is the idea) and they often repeated innocently. Most times no one considers the deep subconscious impact they can make.
That's mother's love. The mother love to her children must better and carefully lot.
Mother is a powerful human around the planet. Are you believe it?
That's better reminder post @onceuponatime.
My deepest salute you.
She looks gorgeous as a little girl and she should probably look gorgeous too as an adult.
But this verse...
Oh boy...
Life has a weird way to surprise us...both pleasantly and unpleasantly...
I am sure that it will surprise you pleasantly in the following days!
Is this your grand mother? Wow that's real beautiful steepshot you found long years ago.
I appreciated your brilliant task @onceuponatime. I know now how about your love to grand ma. Great work sir.
@onceuponatime,
I am fortunate to hear my mom's voice! After reading this article I understood the value of that feeling. I also missed my grand mom! But yeah still remember what she said!
Thank you for bringing me back to that time! This is a very heart touching article for me!
Your grand mother was a beautiful child >> lady >> woman. But now you got her memory and photography. She walked on these lands but not now! One day we all will be memories and we will be at photography!
Our children and grand children will sing our songs and say what you said today!
I wish they all rest in peace! (Including yours)
Lol. She wanted to tell you that it's important for you to stand up to yourself. To defend yourself in every path of life.
About us to carry forward to it and the upper with the us to work will be
After see you priceless photography and lovely contents I remind my childhood. Actually I felt yet my mother and grand ma's love. It was unbelievable love moment I've passed.
Of course, It was successful affair. Currently my mind active my mother's love yet. Thanks mom for giving valuable memory.

This is the view of a woman in another era Raised that the women were otherwise and as the MEN was different in the new era where romance and love are measured only with money how you want relationships to hold....your grandmother was a romantic manfor so he lived!but the photo is a doll
