I went out sailing on the weekend with a 6 year old in very light winds. So light that we become marooned in the harbour with only the tide to ever so slowly drift us away from the shore.
We eventually had to get towed back in by a very kind man on his very fine yacht. Thank you Honeysuckle. Anyway, you know what gag kills with 6 year olds? This stuff: Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream, Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream. Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream, If you see a crocodile, don’t forget to scream. Arrrggh. Row, row, row your boat gently across the lake, There’s some ducks over there, watch out for the drake. Quack! Row, row, row your boat gently up the river, If you see a tiger there, you’re going to feel a shiver. Raw! Row, row, row your boat gently across a pond, What’s that hiding over there behind the palm fronds. Yikes! Row, row, row your boat out towards the dam, If you see a hippo there, look out for the slam. Chomp! Row, row, row your boat out into the ocean, What’s that moving under there, look at that motion. Shark!
