What you do with a well

H and the boy were reading some nursery rhymes yesterday, including Jack and Jill. Quite a few nursery rhymes mention wells, and when we were in the UK we saw an actual well (that was mostly filled in) and showed it to the boy. He had never seen a real one before and was very impressed.

So yesterday while reading “Jack and Jill went up the hill” yadda yadda yadda, H asked what you do with a well. Boo answered that you get water from it.

And you put cats in it.

He’s been paying attention! There’s another rhyme that goes, “ding dong bell, pussy’s in the well, who put her in,” etc etc etc. Funny boy :)
