    Generations of children have grown up singing along and performing actions to the nursery rhyme favourite Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

    But one toddler group has been told not to make the twinkling ‘star’ sign with their hands for fear it could offend the deaf.

    Parents were told that the sign – which resembles a diamond shape when made with forefingers and thumbs – is used in official sign language to represent female genitalia.

    This made me LOL. Innocent children and non-signers would never know the difference anyways.

    Toddlers can't make a diamond because it looks like a fanny? Why not have all the toddlers go to the council and deliver this revised bit of the song with the gesture...

    "Tinkle...tinkle little...FUCK YOU!"

    [sarcasm] Yea, It is offensive. Doesn't everyone know that that sign means the opening of a vagina? Clearly everyone knows sign language!!! am I right?
