GUEST,nanasallthat, thanks for posting that example of Miss Sue. Also, thanks for including demographical information. I'm curious to know how this game was played. Was it a handclap rhyme?

Also, was this game played by African Americans or {and?} White Americans?

And, I'm curious if this rhyme is still recited and played in your area.

Too bad you are a guest and I can't private message {pm} you to ask for more info.

I hope you will respond to these questions, and I hope that you and other guests who post to these threads {discussions} join Mudcat. It's easy to do- just click on membership in the top right hand corner and follow the instructions.

Best wishes,

Ms. Azizi

Btw, it too me a minute to decipher, but let me say I love your name. So you're a grandmother, and you're all that, heh?

Me too :o)
