Went to Popeye's tonight, and I ordered white meat, while my wife ordered dark. I quipped to the cashier that I was Jack Sprat, and this was my wife.

Well, she was too young to have any idea what I was even talking about.... so she told us she was glad to meet us, and told us her name. I felt like a total Turkey.

My wife said, "That'll teach you to keep your mouth shut."

Of course, it dawns on me that many of you kids here are completely in the dark about this, too.

sounds like you have a lovely, forgiving sort of wife.

i think i'd be devising penance for my poor husband. :)
 
Most kids these days don't even know who Captain Planet or Gumby are, so yes, there's no hope that they'll know about Jack Sprat. I knew the nursery rhyme as a kid. Haven't really heard much about it since.

that's okay, though...most likely it hasn't changed much, either. :p

 
Must be something about the name Jack. You made me think of Jack Horner.
 
We were laughing about it at the table later, and it brought to mind several others. One was Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater. Had a wife, but couldn't keep her. So, he................................

Can anyone here finish it?

What age range are you talking about? I still remember captain plant.

Earth! Fire! Wind! Water! Heart!
And Gumby was too boring for me to watch.
 
PenKnight,
This is why they were called "Nursery Rhymes"........ because they were silly little children's sayings that really did rhyme. (Precursors to Dr. Seuss.)

didn't your mom or dad read you nursery rhymes?

fair enough...some are actually a bit gruesome, come to think of it.

Anyone up to around 20 years of age. I'm glad you've heard of Captain Planet, but I can't abide you finding Gumby to be boring. Haha! It was a treasure-trove of creativity. Maybe you had to watch it from a very early age to enjoy it (I still do - although some episodes are surprisingly creepy).

PsychoMom, why should he be in trouble with his wife? He didn't do anything wrong.
