Hey Jennifer,

You’re quite right, of course – I guess we all remember lines from where we first saw/heard them. I was 6 when Blade Runner came out, and I’m pretty certain that’s when that particular line cemented itself into some squishy portion of my brain!

Congratulations and welcome home. My mom and dad have said “Home again, home again, jiggity jig” ever since I can remember – and I’m well over 25 Your post inspired a quick google and it I see it is a line from a Mother Goose nursery rhyme “To Market. To Market”:

To market, to market, to buy a fat pig.
Home again, home again, jiggety jig.
To market, to market, to buy a fat hog,
Home again, home again, jiggety jog.
To market, to market, to buy a plum bun,
Home again, home again, market is done.
