had my hair cut today...along with THREE head massages..lovely....


should be more of it...


sigh.....nearly went to sleep


Good morning all 🙂



Well it was 0˚ down here at 5.30 this morning... This is ridiculous!



As for hair washing JV... the choices are overwhelming and now I have found one that suits I won't change.. except now I have I bet they take it off the market 😞



Lovely to have head massages Gil, glad you enjoyed them.



My phone trouble is continual and now they are not contacting me!



Mind you I have set the ombudsman on to them and am also demanding money back from them...



No phone at all unless I unplug the modem and then trouble getting back on line.



Give me the old days :_|

I think the singer is referring to his niece/nephew. He married one of the little girls, and his brother married her sister. Just a guess.

I wondered about that cyclonic... then thought about it again... is it a question of the sisters being vastly different ages?   One a lot younger than the other... same with the brothers?



Hmmm... sigh, I always find it hard to work out relationships.



I suppose people have been wondering this ever since the song was first written... I wonder if even the writer knew? 🙂

Actually it could be his nephew he's singing to as the first line says  2 Little girls in blue, lad...


So if the lad's his nephew it would make sense

Now THAT makes sense bright.ton.  Yes 'lad' could be his nephew and he's telling the child of the family history.



Of course!  Thank you 🙂


Oh bother!  I don't think that does work...



2 little girls in blue lad, 2 little girls in blue


They were sisters we were brothers and learned to love them true,


But one little girl in blue lad, she won my father's heart,


Became my mother I married the other


But now we've drifted apart.



One little girl became his mother... I have to think, who was his father?  not one of the two boys?



I like that 'lad' is who the song is being sung to but.....



Maybe it just a nonsense song to keep us all guessing :^O

Darkie I think the 3rd and 4th line is ...won YOUR father's heart, became YOUR mother...

Arvo Seniors--still confused by that relationship poser.


Was adopted at 4 years old -but knew both families.


My legal brother was courting my blood sister


and they married.


Sometimes when young i would refer to them


as -sister and brother in law -or brother and sister in law.


Confused school teachers and other people.


Myself included....................Richo. 

wow, that's interesting richo.


 


At school my friend was in the same class as her uncle. Can anyone guess how that is possible? Does anyone want to guess?


😮
