there's this little chant we used to sing in tagalog for the rock/paper/scissor game called jack and poi.
Jack and Poi/
ahala hala hoy/
sino ma talo/
siyang unngo


you have to sing this singsong-y with the first, second, and last lines all rhyming.
the last two lines translate to "whoever is the loser is a monkey". So i've sung this around the house and taught some to my Richiepoo and now he sings in a high pitched voice "ahala hala hoy/ sinoseferatu shanonguy" it's so cute and funny. gotta go he's coming. ahh
