Eeney-meany

I'm not even sure how to write/spell Eeney-Meany... but I am enjoying the game. For whatever reason, arguments, disagreements, fights and whining/crying can all be stopped with this simple game. Lately whenever the boys have a "problem" with who's turn it is to play with whatever, this simple rhyme does the trick and no one even disputes the tiger who hollers who's turn it is.

After hearing how well it worked when they played, I thought I'd try it when they both wanted to say prayer at a meal, or both wanted their book read first. It worked for me too- not a peep after the rhyme had chosen. Why didn't I come across this earlier?!
