After playing the game, our grandmother would sit us down on the floor around her rocking chair and tell us her version of the story.
My cousins and I would declare these words boldly before leaping with all our might over the tiny candlestick on the ground. For those of you who do not know, this game consists of singing the following lines while leaping over a candlestick on the ground. My favorite part of the evening is when we would play Jack Be Nimble. We would all go to her house and she would tell us stories by the fire while we sipped hot chocolate from her signature coffee mugs.
Many evenings, my grandmother would watch my cousins and me as our parents would go on date nights and to shows in the city. One of my favorites was "Jack Be Nimble." As you know, my grandmother had a knack of putting her own twist on all kinds of nursery rhymes. I am delighted to see you back for yet another reimagined nursery rhyme from my lovely grandmother, Kay.
