And so I would also play it with my friends just the way you describe. I never lived in Pennsylvania but my ancestors were from there. I never met in life anyone else who had ever heard of this so it made me wonder if this was something random my mother heard and then repeated or if it had been passed down through the generations of our family.

They took turns having the church meetings in people's houses, and in making the food. That must have stressed many a momma of many, trying to keep them silent. Thank you for the rhyme...mine will love it I'm pretty sure.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12741646073555849828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110119519236904310.post-49942091435735897852013-12-03T05:50:02.059+00:002013-12-03T05:50:02.059+00:00Occasionally we play the quiet game - everyone has...Occasionally we play the quiet game - everyone has to be quiet and the first one to say anything loses. It is now just the boys who play (so that J and I can talk) and the boys can't make the lovely noises they like to make at this age. It doesn't last very long unfortunately.
