I don't mean to be picky but in the last paragraph the word "take" should be "taken" or the sentence makes no sense!

In the classic film, MARY POPPINS, they all get happy at the end and sing about kites. . .There is a line I have always disliked in this song:
"With tuppence for paper and string, we can do almost anything"
First; Paper and string don't cost 'tuppence' (two pence sterling for any one who's not sure)
Second; You CANNOT do almost anything with two pence sterling to buy string and paper. Sure, you can do some stuff with it, but not ANYTHING. Come on Disney, I didn't believe it as a kid and I don't now.
Key: Complain about this post
