Probably the first thing you memorize as a child is nursery rhymes. After your ABCs it was what you learned. I have so many fond memories of listening to and reciting many nursery rhymes. What was your favorite childhood nursery rhyme?

The two rhymes which immeditely come to my mind are, Jack and Jill went up the hill, and Twinkle, Twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are. I love rhymes, and like quite a few, but the two rhymes which I will never forget are these two only.

I remember Jack and Jill from my kindergarten days. I always wondered why Jack would be rolling down the hill with a crown on his head.

My favorite nursery rhyme was "I'm a little teapot". Now a person in my fifty I can say I have loved tea all of my life and I also collect teapots.

Hi Sender, Twinkle twinkle little star and ABCs is one of my favourite nursery rhyme. Because I am from indonesia,so most of my nursery rhyme are in Bahasa Indonesia language. I love to sing : potong bebek angsa,kacang goreng,naek kereta api,balonku,kebunku. They are also my favourite nursery ryhmes when I was small. Now is my turn to sing for my son. I sing for him everyday and he has learn some nursery songs from me.He still not able to sing well,but the lyrics are always there. Since my son is Barney fans,so I got to learn some Barney songs and I can sing some Barney's songs,we sing together everyday and it was so fun.

The ever popular twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are? The there's jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water. Humpty, dumpty sat on a wall, Row row row your boat gently down the stream, Mary had a little lamb and Baba black sheep. I also recite these ryhmes and others as well and sometimes I sing too with my nephew when he was in pre-school because I bought a nursery ryhme book. I can already memorize the forgotten ones because he always insisted I read to him every night before going to bed. LOL

Hi sender, how about Itsy Bitsy Spider and Little Jack Horner, they were always on my favourites list. I'm A Little Teapot was another one I really liked. I am surprised these have not come up in discussion yet? Was my family just really weird or what? Okay, don't answer that last question, okay?

As a naughty little boy I always used to like Georgie Porgie(hope my spelling is correct there). U know.... "kissed the girls and made them cry". I`ve always (and still) had the thing of teasing girls, but I think of it as giving them some attention.
