I thought I had the parenting thing sussed. Every night as I lay my daughter to bed I used to sing

Coconut head, coconut head, my little tiny baby has a coconut head. She’s got bananas for arms and bananas for legs, but my little tiny baby has a coconut head

15 years and 10K on therapy later the night terrors are significantly less frequent, and I'm prepared to admit I might have been better off with a more classic night time lullaby.

My little sister (now 27)
was always traumatised by my mum singing

My baby has gone down the plug hole,
My baby has gone down the plug,
My baby has gone down the plug hole,
I should have washed her in the tub

My dad always used to sing....
...Oh you're a funny one,
with a face like a pickled onion,
and a nose like a squashed tomato,
and teeth like broad beans.

I giggled at the time, although now I think about it he was essentially saying I had a face like one of Linda McCartney's turds.

My Mum used to sing this to us
I'd completely forgotten. Used to make us cry with laughter. I guess we were easily amused.
