I told my wife recently that she was singing the nursery rhyme 'Pat-a-cake' to my daughter wrong - She kept singing "Pat it and prick it ad mark it with 'B'...".
As my brother's name and my name both begin with 'S' I was convinced until recently that our Mum always sang the line correctly ie "mark it with 'S'.."
I am now 31 and find it amazing that I had this belief ever since I was a child!.
