Weird. Just last night we got together with my wife's family. First 
it started with stories of our children singing songs, but not 
knowing the meaning. Then Mary's sister Anne talked about 
singing "Timothy" as a kid and her brother clued her in as to it's 
meaning and she was shocked. 
 But, the main reason I'm posting is in MY elementary school, which I 
shared with family last night, the big rumor was that Timothy was 
really, in fact, a duck.  Mule? That still would have given me 
nightmares. :)
I wonder how many different animal forms Timothy took around the 
country, to protect the children's psyche? :)

Best, Steve
