The handclappig game I remember liking is:

Slide down my rainbarrel, climb up my cellar door
And we'll be jolly friends forevermore.
Amazing the thngs we remember, isn't it? I could probably still sing a lot of the songs I learned in Girl Scout camp - and that's over 45 years ago.

When we had family get togethers when I was small the men ate first. Then the moms and then the kids last. You would think moms would have ate with the kids. It was normal when I was small. It was a big family thing.
