How did Humpty Dumpty fall off the wall? was he pushed?

Question

I have 2 small grandchildren I am sure the question will arise 'was Humpty pushed nanny?'

Answer 1

You can always tell them he overbalanced because he had a very round bottom and the wall was very narrow.

Answer 2

He lost his balance.

Answer 3

Hmmmm...did he fall or was he pushed?  Enquiries so far have been inconclusive.  Any witnesses should contact Scotland Yard or Crimewatch.

Answer 4

i cant remember...humpty dumpty sat on a wall...humpty dumpty had a great fall...i think thats how it goes...maybe he just overbalanced!

Answer 5

It was just an accident.  Everyone has them from time to time.  You can tell them that its just like when they are playing and they fall down.  No one has to be at fault it just happens.

Answer 6

he wasn't pushed, i was not there to push him..

he got a big head, and short  lower limbs that's why when he looked down the wall, he fell.. tsk..tsk..

Answer 7

Answer 8

lack of supervision and no Health & Safety risk assessment carried out.

Answer 9

Possibly . ................. It`s been suggested this was a case of premeditated murder ! It could have been one of the King`s men  , or even the King himself that commited this dastardly deed .

Everyone at the scene  was questioned , and the usual suspects rounded up . Mother Goose was strongly suspected of complicity in this murder most foul , but because of the lack of cooperation  on the part of all witnesses , the authorities came up empty handed .

To this day , the case remains unsolved .

Answer 10

There was another gunman on the grassy knoll.

They don't want you to know the truth...

Answer 11

:-)  Kids think of great questions like that all the time.

I would take it as an opportunity to brainstorm.  "Let's think of all the reasons he probably fell off the wall."  I bet they come up with better/funnier answers than what any of us can.

Have fun!

Answer 12

NO... he just fell so that the words will rhyme. hahaha fall & wall

Answer 13

Humpty lost his balance.  The actual basis for the poem was just that.  The poem originated over a hundred years ago in England as a bit of biting political satire.  So you're explaining that Humpty lost his balance should be enough for the children.

Answer 14

Well he was being a typical man wasent he. Giving me back chat so i pushed the hefty fella! he only brought it on himself................men!!!!!!!

Answer 15

The law of gravity-here is a heavy round person sating on a small narrow wall. He can balance up there for a while but he will come down. But what about nanny how did he get on the wall in the first place?

Answer 16

Humpty was an egg, ask the children to place an egg on a wall and see if it needs pushing....

Answer 17

he ate too many sweets and it made him fat so he didnt fit on the wall and he thought he did so when he sat down he broke the wall

Answer 18

humpty dumpty fell off the wall

Answer 19

Good question, I always told my daughter when she was younger that Humpty Dumpty fell off the wall because he didn't sit still after his mummy told him to. :)

Answer 20

If you look at the wall he is sitting on he is alone so there was no one to push him.

Answer 21

maybe he was unbalanced as his backside was big, and fell forward.
