Sittin' On a Fencepost


Chewin' my bubble gum...


*smack smack smack smack smack smack smack*

When along came Herman the Worm and he was this big!


And I said, "Herman, what did you do?!"

"I ate a cat."

*GASP*


(Help me out here...apparently there are some "lyrics" to this song that I'm missing! What are they, and where do they go?! Thanks to Jolene and Holly, and a twitter discussion, I've been all worked up over the missing lyrics...)

  1. I was sitting on my fencepost chewing my bubble gum (smack smack smack)
    Playing with my yo-yo (dowhop, dowhop)
    When along came Herman the worm!
    And he was this big!
    And I said, Herman! What happened?
    And he said, I ate a ______!
    ....
    repeat repeat repeat with animals and objects growing in size...then repeat and when you get to this big, be very small)
    Herman! What happened?
    I BURPED!

    Or at least that's how we always sang it... and we much rathered to eat all our siblings/cousins/group of friends in size order than animals!

Come here looking for the tutorial? It can be found here:  Halo Braid Tutorial!  Let me know how it goes! I had something in mind to try on Baby Girl's hair the other day...my best bud, Dr. J, did something similar to it on Belle once, and I was trying to replicate it. Instead, I got this: Isn't it pretty?! It didn't take nearly as long as it looks and isn't nearly as intricate as it looks!

Oh, hold it...wait just a sec (again)...actually, I got this recipe from Melissa...yes, the Melissa of this story !
