To cry whenever I listen to puff the magic dragon on Alexa with my 3 year old!

[Marilynmansonsthermos]

The words are just sooooo sad! My poor son must think I'm mad. It's his favourite song

You do know that song is about heroin addiction?

Of course I've heard the drug references but I think it was genuinely a song about the end of childhood imagination originally.

Actually I just looked it up there and it would appear that the writers always denied that it was about drugs and it was just an innocent song. I always liked it as a child but must have heard the drug references when i was older and it lost its appeal. Happy to know that it is as it seems.

I was taught this by my first primary school teacher nearly 50 years ago. I thought she was fantastic - played the guitar and everything!

Always brings a tear to my eye.

I basically cry at everything now. I was welling up at the theme tune to "my pet and me" this morning (cbeebies show where kids show how to look after a pet) 🙄
