Flashback Friday -- Numbers

Today's flashback is a bit of a memory fragment from my childhood school days.  Does anyone else remember playing hand games?  Like "Numbers"?  Was this just a Lusher thing?  Or was it wide-spread?  I have no idea. All I know is that I spent many a minute waiting in line for lunch, or assemblies, or to go outside for recess playing "Numbers" with my friends.  It's a complicated hand clapping game for two people that is way too difficult to try and explain, but when I introduced it to Ethan earlier this week in an attempt to get him to calm down and stop bugging everyone around him, he latched on with his usual tenacity.  It's taken him a while to get the hang of it, and the still shots  don't quite do it justice, but let the record show that I am passing the torch of knowledge on to the next generation of school children.  Hahahahahahaha.
