Over thirty years ago, while visiting the Graetz family, we heard Jeannie sing:

"Carolyn, Carolyn has a bunion,

a nose like a pickled onion,

a mouth like a crooked river,

two eyes like fried eggs!"

She then went around the room, singing to and inserting each child's name into the song.

They loved it!

At home we continued to sing the song, adding new silly, then sillier verses.

Now, with a new generation, I sing the song to my grandchildren. When I do I see my grown children's faces light up in joyful remembrance.

Thank you, Jeannie!
