Hand clapping games never die
There's something enduring about hand clapping games. ![]()
My 6-year-old daughter Lily makes me play them all the time. Just like I did when I was six.
You know what I'm talking about, where you clap hands with each other while singing the lyrics of a silly song?
Here's the one Lily was chanting the other day:
Mr. Mailman do your dutyHere comes a lady with a big, fat booty
She can do the pom pom
And she can do the twist
But most of all she can kiss kiss kiss
K-i s- s
What does that spell?
Kiss!
