I still remember my landline number from when I was 4 and there were only 5 digits. It makes me feel extremely old.

The words to “The going to bed book” by Sandra Boynton. I’ve read it to my son at night since the day he was born. It didn’t take long until my wife and I no longer needed the book.

Also, all of the U.S. states in alphabetical order set to a tune. That came from some cassette tape that my mother used to play to us (she was a school teacher.)

It’s just the list of the books of the old testament.

I went to a Christian School and one of the tasks one quarter was to memorize them and recite them.

After you’ve done it a handful of times you realize that there is a rhythm or a cadence to the words and it’s easier to memorize them by memorizing the cadence then it is by memorizing the words themselves.

What a useless thing to teach to children. By reciting the names you still don’t know anything about the content.

I’m sorry they made you do that.

We had a song in Sunday School that was just the books of the Bible. I could hear it in my head while reading your post.

Aaargh, me too. I can still hear Sister Bernadette singing and see her little spectacled face bobbing from side to side as she taught us the songs.
