Girls are Sugar & Spice and All Everything Nice...What are Boys Made of?

Hmmm...What is the rest of that old nursery rhyme that goes, “Girls are made of sugar and spice”?  “Girls are made of sugar and spice”?
Fill-in the blanks?
Snips and snails, and puppy dogs' tails; That's what little boys are made of." according to the old nursery rhyme. What are Snips, anyway?
In the early versions of this children’s poem, the first ingredient for boys is either “snips” or “snigs”, with a ‘snig’ meaning a small, slippery eel.

Our sex life is vanilla. How can I encourage my wife to help us spice it up?

I’m a stay-at-home dad, she’s stressed out at work, worried about money – and ignoring all my suggestions for the bedroom

Memes, Sex, and Sugar: Who cares about
 sugar and spice
 and everything
 nice.
 I'm full of SEX and
 SASS and I'm a
 delicious badass!

Our sex life is vanilla. How can I encourage my wife to help us spice it up?

I’m a stay-at-home dad, she’s stressed out at work, worried about money – and ignoring all my suggestions for the bedroom

ADVICE FROM A THERAPIST: When she feels you are truly empathic about her work struggle and prepared to support her as a strong, caring and responsible partner without further demands, she may well become more erotically connected to you.
"My wife and I have been together for 18 years. We have a good sex life but for the past few years I have brought up the fact that I feel it’s become very “vanilla”. I have asked for her input on spicing things up, but she’s never given me any ideas. I’ve bought toys, books and made suggestions, but often these are ignored. My wife has a very stressful job that is demanding of her time and attention. I’m a stay-at-home dad to our two school-age children. My wife says she is too stressed from work and feels too bad about her appearance to have the time to fantasise or be creative in the bedroom, and that I have to be content with what we have. I am just as attracted to her now as I was when we first met."
