To be furious over 'ba ba spotty sheep'

[Littlesmiler]

As the title really! My DD started school nursery in September, and this past week, when she has been at home and singing nursery rhymes with us, she's been singing baa baa spotty sheep as opposed to black sheep.

We have always sang the 'black sheep' version as it's what myself and DP learned when we were little and as it is the 'proper' version. All the family sing the classic version also, as is traditional. So the only place that's singing this ridiculous version is school.

I just can't believe they're changing a kiddy nursery rhyme that's been around for god knows how long, as someone somewhere has deemed it inappropriate? I'd love to know why- as black sheep are an actual thing! Would it be the same if it was 'white sheep'? Probably not.

Just so annoyed, probably being irrational as I've had the implant out after 3 years and having my first visit from Mother Nature 🙈

AIBU to just want classic nursery rhymes to stay as the classic version??

Good grief this gets odder and odder! Now OP is pounding up and downstairs between posts? Or is that heart rate actually just what happens when you think about spotty sheep?

Is the OP on some kind of steroids?

Crying laughing ....

I want to know why everyone else has an ass :(

And I'm convinced this thread was started - probably under a name change but I cba to check - just to have an opportunity to whinge about posters on Mumsnet and how meeeeaaaan they are.

Are they on glue?

OP 'joined' about a week ago ...

You're so funny, OP

And so fit

I applaud you.

I have an ass coz I work hard for it.. Yano, pounding the stair master, weighted bridges, squats, deadlifts, roundhouse kicking mumsnet keyboard warriors etc etc. Not the free, give us an extra mince pie wobbly cellulite excuse for a rear

OP, while you're up, could you get me a cup of tea and some hay for the ass? It's normal weight at the moment and I need to fatten it up for Crimbo.

She has just had her implant removed.

Glad I never had one.

I'm a 'half cast leprechaun' hahahahaha!!!!!

oh you mean arse - well I don't eat mince pies but thanks for offering

I'm off to run 6K+ now which burns a little more than your home exercise does - but I'm sure it all balances out

my bottom isn't free though it's usually in pants

My free, give us an extra mince pie wobbly cellulite excuse for a rear still couldn't give a shit about the colour of a fucking imaginary sheep in a nursery rhyme. Don't you have like,you know, real things to worry about?

Sheep wool is white or black - and in some specific breeds, greyish or brown! Good grief. The sheep's colour is surely not going to offend anyone. How ridiculous.
And no, they don't come in purple or pink or in spots. Grrrr

ghostyslovesheets make sure you do some weight training won't you, as you surely know, cardio burns muscle as well as fat, so you'll end up 'skinny fat' with no ass 😳 Oh and FYI, it's a stair master, at a gym, you've probably never been so don't kno what one looks like, but it's basically a rotating escalator, very good after leg day to get that perfect bootaaaay!! Also, 6k isn't far, i can do that in well under 30 😂😂 up yo game lovely!

Perhaps she could take her aggression out on the neighbours, but it appears she's intimidated by them.

The hypocrisy of complaining about keyboard warriors is fascinating.

good for you - I suspect teenagers tend to be quicker than 40+ women so I bet you can run further - keep doing it - it's very good for stress - you seem so wound up, stressed and angry one could almost doubt your word

maybe the neighbours are fed up with her violent ranting! Must be awful for her though stuck in a shitty house in a shitty area with no money to move but money for gym membership

No I actually didn't set up a spoof profile, I genuinely asked a genuine question then got thrown to the mumsnet wolves, so I bit back 😂

Jesus. Who fucking cares. Get a grip.

Do you think you could be half-sheep instead of leprechaun, OP?

You've got the elongated aaaaaaa sounds down pat.

How many calories can I lose by being a keyboard warrior ?

I knew we had something in common. We both have an arse.
