Duck, Duck...
Growing up in Dallas, we played a game on the playground: a group of kids sat in a circle, and one child walked around outside the circle, touching peers on the head, saying, "Duck", "Duck"... until the kid reached the target, and then the kid said something - which led the target to jump to his/her feet and race around the circle, trying to be the first to get back and sit down in the empty space.
Now, I knew this game as Duck, Duck, Grey Duck - and the kid walking around the circle would often extemporize, tapping heads and saying, "Blue Duck", "Red Duck", "Gr......een Duck", "Grey Duck!" And then the chase would begin.
Mark, like most people, played Duck Duck Goose - no grey ducks, but "Goose!" was the trigger for the chase.
Did anyone else play Duck, Duck, Grey Duck? Was I just creative ahead of my time?
