Some schools are not letting the kids pick sides during PE because someone might get their feelings hurt if they get picked last. You also can't play tag or dodge ball because someone might get injured. Now the BBC has decided to change the ending of the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty for their children's TV shows. Instead of "couldn't put Humpty together again" all the King's horses "made Humpty happy again." Their reason: Obviously children will find it far too distressing, violent and horrific if Humpty is all broken. The same channel changed the ending of Little Miss Muffet so she made friends with the spider instead of running away. Don't Hansel and Gretel run away because they have a wicked stepmother, then some old hag stuffs them in a hot oven? That sounds a little worse then a silly spider.
