Does this ring a bell with anyone? She would touch the top of each finger, starting with the baby finger, and say "Jolly". Between the index finger and thumb she would slip down and say "Whoops", hit the thumb with "Jolly", slide back again to the index with another "Whoops" and finish off back to the baby. I've never seen anyone else play this so it may have been her own invention, but I was wondering if maybe it has its roots with her home. Katie Ontario
