OK, if you insist, I'll start it off.
Younger people won't even know what I'm talking about when I tell you mine. Here ya go.
What mother could possibly think that it would be a good thing to sing the lullabye
"Rock-a-bye baby" to her child????
I mean, the words:
"Rock a bye baby, in the tree top,
when the wind blows, the cradle will rock"
OK, so far so just let the wind rock the cradle for you, right? Are there mosquitoes? Is it cold up there? Who climbed up the tree to put the baby up there in the first place...and hauled a cradle up a tree?
and then, to continue with,...
"When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall,
Down will come cradle, baby and all."
Now isn't that a comforting thought??? That should lull any precious little child to sleep with a smile.
Who EVER thought to write something like that?
I'm not even going to mention Fairy tales. Poor scared little pigs! Hansel and Gretel got the stuffings scared out of them and LRRH's grandma got eaten by the wolf. Maybe "stupid" is not the right word.

Just the other night I was thinking of this song when I was trying to go to sleep. It just kept me awake longer thinking about those lyics.
