Think of the children
Maybe I'm super PC, but I was just blown away by what I heard just now on the street. That's right, this is the proverbial, "Word on the Street."
I'm dog-sitting Tosca, a sweet dog with a bum right leg, just like me, and I saw a mom walking with three girls somewhere between the ages of 6 and 13 (note: I'm pretty much a kid expert). The three girls sang the following:
Mailman, mailman, do your duty;
Here comes the girl with the African booty;
Swing it to the left, Swing it to the right...(unintelligible)
Is that okay? Is this some nursery rhyme from when I was a kid that I blacked out? The girls were Hispanic. Could this have been some mistranslated song? Anyway, Tosca and I hid our disdain for the girls blatant racism by taking a crap on the lawn (Tosca) and by laughing (me).
