A CUMULATIVE LIFE STAGES RHYME VERSION OF "WHEN PEBBLES WAS A BABY"
"When I went to elementary school in South Jersey, we used to
sing a different version of 'Miss Suzie was a baby', except we said 'Pebbles'
When Pebbles was a baby, a baby, a baby, when Pebbles was a baby, she used to go like this: Wah, wah, suck my thumb, gimme a piece of bubblegum.
When Pebbles was a kid, a kid, a kid, when Pebbles was a kid, she used to go like this: Teacher, Teacher, tie my shoe.
When Pebbles was a teenager, a teenager, a teenager, when Pebbles was a teenager, she used to go like this: Ooh, ah, lost my bra, left it in the cafeteri-ah. Over there, on the chair, is where I put my underwear!
When Pebbles was a mom, a mom, a mom, when Pebbles was a mom, she used to go like this: Brush your teeth, comb your hair, and don't forget your underwear!
When Pebbles was a grandma, a grandma, a grandma, when Pebbles was a grandma, she used to go like this: Ooh, ah, my achin back!
And then there was something about Pebble's death that I
remember being amusing to a second grader, maybe Pebbles dying, going to
heaven, then maybe being sent to hell..? If anyone remembers, I would really
love to know."

"South Jersey" is a region of "New Jersey". "Atlantic City" is the most well known city in South Jersey. (I was born in that city and lived there until I moved to North Jersey-near New York City- for college.)

bettingonalice posted another rhyme on that discussion forum then wrote this:
"Wait I remember now!
When Pebbles was dead, was dead, was dead, when Pebbles was
dead, she used to go like this: [say loudly and spin around and flap your arms]
WHEEE! I CAN FLY!"
