Nursery Rhymes ARE Relevant to Life

The Ants go marching

The ants go marching one by one.

Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching one by one.

Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching one by one;

The little one stops to suck his thumb,
And they all go marching

down

into the ground

to get out

of the rain.

Boom, boom, boom!

This nursery rhyme is relevant to my life because when I was in elementary school I used to have to stay after for Y-time because my parents worked. A couple of my bestfriends and I would always go exploring near the woods around the playground. One day we found a big dirt area with tons of ant holes and hundreds of big black ants! Back then we didn't find bugs gross at all and we were so amazed by them. Everyday during Y-time we would run over to our spot by the playground and watch the ants as they ran around along the dirt. We would even pick them up and try to build our own homes for them although it didn't always work. This was where we would spend most of our time. Watching the ants fascinated us so much. It seems weird to think that I could be so intrigued by them when I was younger and now I absolutely hate bugs.
