Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is Jump Rope, again it must be a cultural or at least a provence thing…here is Australia we call it a skipping Rope, not Jump Rope, although I supposed Jump Rope is probably a better term. I loved the rope as a girl, even more fun was elastics……..does anyone know what that is? It’s kind of like Extreme Jump Rope lol, I believe many schools here have banned it, as it is considered too dangerous. Oh My everything is too dangerous these days, most of us 70’s kids survived……it cannot have been too bad, could it?
I seriously could not find a photo of my own with jumping or skipping or rope; so here is one from Pixabay
And a cute one of my dog Chloe as compensation 🙂 !

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A skipping rope rhyme:
Had a little puppy
His name was Tiny Tim
I put him in the bath tub to see if he could swim
He drank all the water, he ate a bar of soap
The next thing you know he had a bubble in his throat
In comes the Doctor, (person jumps in)
In comes the nurse, (person jumps in)
In jumps the lady with the alligator purse, (person jumps in)
Out went the Doctor, (person jumps out)
Out went the nurse, (person jumps out)
Out went the lady with the alligator purse, (person jumps out)
Starts again from the beginning.
