When I was young,
in the christmas carol - "we saw three ships", instead of the line "the
Virgin Mary and Christ were there", I used to sing, "The birds and Mary and
rice were there" because when I asked my sister what the line was, that's
what it sounded like she said......she stills teases me over that one.....
