The little monkey has learned to "put her potatoes in" or whatever your local phrase for it is/was, to select who goes first in games. Know what I mean? Where the kids put in their hands and do "eenie meenie miney moe..." until all hands but one are eliminated?
We remember a few of these:
"One potato, two potato, three potato four..."
"Train, train, number nine, going down the city line, if the train goes off the track, do you want your money back, yes or no?"
"Mother and your mother were hanging up clothes. My mother punched your mother right in the nose. What color was the blood?"
But variety is the spice of life and we need some spice. Which ones do you remember?
