Title: Nursery rhyme--stupid question
Post by: Maeve on June 21, 2007, 15:16:46 pm

I'm not sure if this belongs here, but here goes:
I've been asked by a 3-year-old, and I can't answer: what is a tuffet?
As in 'Little Miss Muffet'. Now he's got me going, and it's really annoying me that I don't know.
Anyone out there know. Or does everyone know and am I just really stupid?

I didn't realize it was stool. She's always on a clump of grass/ grassy knoll over here!
