Talking about Grannies...

Hi there

My friend was reminiscing to her grand-children on verses and poems she'd learnt years ago in Britain.  Here's one of them:

O ye canna shove yer Granny aff a bus,
O ye canna shove yer Granny aff a bus,
O ye canna shove yer Granny
'Cos she's yer Mammy's Mammy
O ye canna shove yer Granny aff a bus.

Ye can shove yer ither Granny aff a bus,
Ye can shove yer ither Granny aff a bus.
Ye can shove yer ither Granny
Cos she's yer Daddy's Mammy
Ye can shove yer ither Granny aff a bus.

Now, can you guess what my friends' grandkids did immediately after they got home?  Of course, you can.  They recited the poem to both their mother and their "'ither Granny".  They didn't forget to mention who'd told  it to them.

Oops...
