Nursery rhymes with a contemporary twistAs a father reads Mother Goose at the request of his son, the toddler nods off and is taken to bed "with his trousers on; one shoe off " - it slips away as his mother carries him to his crib - "and one shoe on." There he sleeps peacefully, still clad, while the family dog retrieves the lost shoe.
