My youngest child still takes naps. All of my kids have had the same nap routine: read a story, go to the bathroom, sing a song, say a prayer, then in to bed. I usually rock them or rub their backs when I sing. Today's melody was "Rock-a-bye Baby." I've probably sang it at least a thousand times over the last decade.
As I put my youngest into bed he turned to me and said, "Did the baby fall in the road?"
I thought, "What?!?!" A second later I realized he was referencing the song. I told him not to worry, the baby fell in the grass. ;).

"Rock-a-bye baby in the treetop,
When the wind blows the cradle will rock,
Kisses and hugs all the night through,
Will come down from Angels straight to you."
A couple of years ago she heard the real song and said, "Mommy! Did you know there was a SECOND verse to that song?" :)
