There was an old woman who lived in a shoe
She had so many children, she didn't know what to do
She gave them some broth without any bread
Then whipped them all soundly and sent them to bed
Sounds to me like the original "Kate Plus Eight.", only without TLC's money to provide for the family. I kind feel for the old gal, all those kids and obviously no money. But if you can only afford broth for your kids, then you shouldn't have had that many to begin with. Or is she withholding the bread as some sort of punishment? I can't tell. If so, that's terribly cruel. Not the kind of bedtime story you want to read your kids for sure. A story that ends with a sound whipping for no given reason only instills fear. And you want your kids to love and respect you, not fear you....even if you have too many of them and can only afford to live in a shoe. You hear that Kate...I'm talking to you!
