The Secret History of Nursery Rhymes | T...

Pearlmania500
About this episode

This week the Pearlman's were trying desperately to get the baby to bed when they started singing nursery rhymes and realizing that they had no idea why a baby would be rocking on a tree top. That inspired Mrs. P to research 5 Nursery Rhymes and present them to Mr. P while an infant is sleeping just a foot away from them the entire time.

Don't worry, this episode will make you anything but tired as the Pearlman's learn more about English sheep taxation law than you ever thought possible!
