Sounds like a Dr. Seuss thing I heard once upon a time ;o) Lynn Mary submitted: "If a goose and a goose both add up to geese, Why doesn't the same rule apply to moose/meese? If a mouse becomes mice, and a louse turns to lice, Why doesn't it follow that house becomes hice? If Dad can be Papa and Mom is the Momma, Then why isn't Brad Brapa and Tom now called Tomma? Because, my Dear One, it is never a breeze When learning the language American-eze."
