1990 vs. 2007

When I was in 4th grade (in 1990) I had a crazy awesome teacher. For the Christmas program that year we rewrote 12 Days of Christmas as the 12 Things My Parents Gave To Me. It went as follows:

12 Nintendo Games
11 Pretty bows
10 G.I. Joes
9 Slap Bracelets
8 Basketballs
7 High Top Sneakers
6 Hula Hoops
5 Designer Jeans
4 Turbo Hoppers
3 Ninja Turtles
2 Barbie Dolls
And a baseball signed by Nolan Ryan (of course)

Very late 80's/early 90's, right? (Yes, I have extremely good memory. I basically remember everything I ever had to memorize.) Today I went to the boys' Christmas program at their school and the third graders did the same thing. I taped the last verse for you. I like to call it 12 Things My Rich Parents Gave To Me:

12 Concert Tickets... to Hannah Montana!
11 Hog Hats
10 Webkinz Pets
9 Ninja Turtles
8 Pairs of Shoes
7 Potter Books
6 Pokemons
5 Golden Labs
4 Flip Phones
3 iPods
2 Nintendo Wiis
And a 60 inch plasma tv

It's weird how both the 1990 and 2007 version have Ninja Turtles.
