That's cool. That's the stuff good memories are made of! I like to take old fairy tales and twist them for my daughter (but I also make sure she knows the original version!)

Haha. Actually, I started a new one. I would sing Rock a bye baby to my daughter but at the part where they sing:
"When the baugh breaks the baby will fall and down will come baby cradle and all."
I took that part out and put in a new one, my own.
"When the baugh breaks the baby won't fall cause mommy caught baby cradle and all."
And I would tell my daughter. "This mommy catches the baby. She will not allow her to fall." I use to hate that song as a child. I could never understand why ANYONE would want to sing that song to their child. What kind of trust should a child have in their parent? So mine might have been fractured but to me it's a good fracture. :-)

My parents had a book of fables and fairy tails which were totally twisted....I thought that these were the real deal and got into an argument with a bunch of kids at school because they were saying then all wrong lol

No but my mom would sing the "walkin' through the rye" and "I'll take the high road" songs. And my dad would read J R R Tolkien and C S Lewis out loud. We did have this tall fairytale book with odd tales and I loved it.

My Father seemed to think that every fairy tale had to have at least one bear in it. Little Red Riding Hood and the Bear. Hansel and Gretel, and the Bear, etc.

No.
But my Dad would read us bedtime stories, and he was adding his own storyline all the time. I told him there weren't that many words on the page, and he said "I'm reading between the lines". Wish we had tape recordings of his tales.
