X and Y up a tree

K-I-S-S-I-N-G,

First comes love,

Then comes marriage,

Then comes the baby in the baby carriage.

Boys are rotten made out of cotton,

Girls are sexy made out of Pepsi,

Incey-wincey lollipop, incey-wincey poo,

Incey-wincey lollipop boys love you

And that is true shampoo

(if hands crossed on last word, not true, if hand parallel, then it's

true)

In a series of articles Alison Jones[1] details the decursus of “touch anxiety” evident in contemporary New Zealand primary schools. Sue Middleton (1996a,b, 1998)[2] dealt with disciplined sexualities in school.
