To get more knowledge,
Boys go to Jupiter
To get more Stupider.

    Girls go to Jupiter
    To get more Stupider.

    My friends told me their kids came home and told her the full rhyme, and it’s sadly, not the most appropriate.

    Part of it says “girls go to Venus to get a…” You can guess the rest. Her children were in trouble for actually saying the word. It’s ruined the rhyme for me, let’s hope your kids don’t know the rest!
