Yeah I shouldn't have been all self-righteous about it. I know there's many versions of all the hand games. It's like a game of telephone. As they are passed on and "travel" around they get changed.

[infamousone]

The version I know is from the movie Big

[dyvinesweetness]

Oh well, then it doesn't count. lol!

[forwhataim]

so I've learned that we were all basically singing the same songs as children, but we got some serious regional variations going on

[dyvinesweetness]

Yeah, I figured out the same thing a while ago. Where did you grow up?

[forwhataim]

And how you gonna diss Ms Mary…. You know I always mess up those hand clap movements to her song

[dyvinesweetness]

"And how you gonna diss Ms Mary…."

lol 'Cause I was teased 'cause of her.

"You know I always mess up those hand clap movements to her song"

"And on the fruit cock tail we'd point to the corresponding parts of our anatomies cause we thought we was grown. Did yall stand and do it in groups of 4 too?"

Yes!!! Rockin Robin was prolly the most intricate because it had 4 people. And for "fruit-cock-tail" we'd cross our arms, then slap down on our thighs then slap our butts. lol

"My mama, your mama live across the street
18, 19 Blueberry Street..."

YES! That's it! I don't remeber the end either. Not completely. But what you added just helped my memory. We said something about "if it's a girl, I'll give it a curl. If it's a boy I'll give it a toy." Or maybe I'm mixing them up now. lol

And let's not get started on jump rope games. lol I'll be here all day. Did yall play "Put"? Put! Those! Dirty! Stinkin! Diapers! On! [whoever jumped in the rope!] I loved that game. But I loved most "straight rope" games 'cause I never learned how to play double dutch.

"Do kids even do these anymore?"I don't even know. I hope so! Those games were a big part of my childhood. I know I'll teach
