I don't remember anyone telling me how long to wash my hands back then. Most folks seemed satisfied that I was actually washing, with soap and water!

She does everything better than almost anyone. I want her to be my nurse when I'm really sick, but she lives far away.
When sung, at the tempo I originally learned them, both the ABC Song and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star work.
