Heavy, heavy hang over thy poor head provides a pattern for known folklorist W.A. "Bert Wilson. And parents, though they may weary of childhood chants and taunts, can learn a gareat deal about their chidlren if they listen and watch for the lore in the birthday celebrations. Some lore, such as fairy tales, may help a child face the future. "Many fairy tales are built, around the idea of leaving the security of home to test onself," said Wilson. "This is, of course, the future that all kids face. A fairy tale may help a child feel more confident about a future that will contain successes as well as big, children's life, according to Wilson, director of the Mountain west Folklore Program at Utah State University. "The folklore of children is a guide to the world the way children live it. Oranges in lore reflect changes in life and attitudes," he said. Wilson and his students, who have collected thousands of taunts, riddles, jingles and verses from children, say that folklore may serve many purposes to bad wolves. ing what has happened," he noted. "Children live by and social groups," said Wilson. "Taunting can also be a very effective social tool. A jibe is often better than a punch in the nose in stopping someone whos giving you a bad time. Wilson pointed out that children also use fore to build relationships. Cinderella, dressed in yella, went upstairs to meet her fella' is one of a whole body of verses dealing with love," said Wilson. "Jumping rope to such a verse is a safe way ot talking about an embarrassing subject." Folklore may disguise other feelings that children find risky, according to the USU folklorist. "Kids have their own kind of - believe in traditions. For example, a father may be furious because his son lied to him. But, in the child's eye, there was no lie because he had crossed his fingers behind his back." Wilson said another problem is that adults and children do not think of words in the same way. To adults, words are just symbols, he said. "To a child, the word is reality. A chid who hears Fatty, fatty, two by four think hes fit. likewise, a child who fends off such an attack with Twinkle, twinkle, little star, what you say is what you are is showing his faith in the magical power of words. Adults also often misunderstand the importance of traditional Nearly all kids love to sing Mfone eyes have seen the glory of the burning of the school' It's one way to let off steam when rules and regulations get to be too much." Children often share lore with their families. Although most parents will more or less cheerfully submit to seemingly endless k jokes and silly riddles, there usually comes a time knock-knoc- when they decide enough is enough.
