Subject: RE: I'm Rubber . You're Glue: Children's Rhymes
Growing up in Central California in the 1950s, My Mom & Dad would say at the dinner table:
Order in the court.
The monkey wants to speak.
Speak monkey speak.
The first one to speak is a monkey.
It made us all shut up for up to minutes at a time.
In the 1980s it worked just as well on my kids.
I was surprised to find so many variations of it on this thread.
