And even on Romper Room they were to sit & not romp.CS Perryesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01011651595792156574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5378530220174928746.post-33476181045014086882016-06-12T08:44:23.691-07:002016-06-12T08:44:23.691-07:00Wow, so many fun and frolicking words!

Mostly well behaved little ones sitting on the floor.

And you never know with horses -- maybe when they're doing those wild things they use coarse language & that's why horse means coarse.<br />CS Perryesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01011651595792156574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5378530220174928746.post-21695863870877944802016-06-09T19:00:17.612-07:002016-06-09T19:00:17.612-07:00I wonder if there was once an actual fool named To...I wonder if there was once an actual fool named Tom back in the misty days of yore, who perpetrated tomfoolery. <br /><br />But I'm disappointed to know that horseplay never involved horses.
