There was a reason for asking, but it's more to do with dissuading children from using 'naughty words' in French and something I only learned from younger SD about twenty years back.

I'm a little bumper car number 48, I went round the cooooooooorner (jump out of the rope, go around the person holding the rope and jump back in)
and jammed on the brakes. (at the end you are supposed to end up with the rope between your feet)
Dear lord, I can't believe I'm Googling skipping rhymes at this time of night!

Google is your friend, never asks "What time did you come to bed/turn out the light last night?" BTW that is what night mode/red filter is for on the phone/tablet
