Gee, if my nursery school had been so witty, literate, clever, etc., I might have actually enjoyed it. OTOH, if you had nothing helpful to say, why did you bother to post?

Some nice people have sent me verses seemingly to help her remember TO tie her shoes. I’m looking for something where the words are about making a loop and wrapping around, etc. When I was a kid, my mom had some deal about a bunny and a playmate in a cave, but neither of us can remember it. Please if you’re suppressing memories, open up and share. – Ron Low Levity is the dearth of gravity. Brevity is the height of clarity. non-commercial e-mail always welcome

You know, I’m 38, I never learned the other way, and my sneakers still don’t stay tied!!! I will have to learn the other way before I teach my daughter. — If this looks funny I’m typing with the baby on my lap!

I learned by making two loops and tying the loops together in a knot. I learned the other way later, but this "simplified" tying helped me along the way. -Kay-

My husband used ‘one, two, around and through’ which matches each of the four steps – first tie, circle left lace, wrap right lace around, and push loop through. k

I learned this way too. The two loops were called ‘bunny ears’ and then the bunny goes into the rabbit hole (when you fold one loop under).
