Pumpkin Fun

Since I teach nursery school and Anna is in nursery school (a different class), we both come home singing the same songs and doing the same fingerplays. Since it is "Pumpkin Week" for both of us, we learned the song "Five Little Pumpkins". Here is the correct version:

Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate.
The first one said "Its getting very late!".
The second one said "There are witches in the air!".
The third one said "I don't care!".
The fourth one said "Let's have some fun!".
The fifth one said "Let's run and run!".
OOOOOOO went the wind and OUT went the lights
And five little pumpkins rolled out of sight!

This is Anna's version which she taught me in the car on the way home from school today...She insists this is the right version!

Five little pumpkins jumping on a gate.
The first one said "Let's walk."
The sec... the number 2... the other one said "Let's skip".
The other one said "Let's run!".
The other one said "Let's go to Home Depot"

Don't bother singing it the correct way in our house -or you'll make Anna very unhappy!
