I am scarred for Life!!!
I found out what "Ring Around the Rosie" is really about.
My childhood is ruined.
So here it is, the brutal truth.
Ring Around the Rosie is about people dying of the plague.
"Ring around the Rosie" means the red rings that would develop around the swollen glands of those who had the plague.
"A pocket full of posies"People who had the plague would fill their pockets with flowers to cover the stink.
"Ashes, Ashes"The burning bodies
"we all fall down"
PEOPLE DYING!!!!!
It's horrible!

Thank you, mother, for ruining all my wonderful childhood memories.
