Children sometimes "immunize" each other from cooties by administering a "cootie shot." One child typically administers the "shot" by reciting the rhyme "circle, circle / dot, dot / now you've got the cootie shot" while using an index finger to trace the circles and dots on another child's forearm. Yet another variation of the cootie shot is "circle, circle / square, square / now you have it everywhere," in which a child expecting an immunization is hoodwinked by a friend into being infected with cooties throughout his or her body. A final shot is said "circle, circle/ knife, knife / now you've got it all your life" while using their index finger to draw vertical lines on the other child's forearm. One more variation is "circle, circle / triangle, triangle / now you've got it at every angle." Sometimes a "cooties shot" is actually just a punch to the upper arm which "cures" the punched one from the "disease".


now thats something i've never heard of before! :wah:

well now miss shelly ... that shore explains it to me!

i am as you know a serious dumbass so don't mind me ... but i am still pretty much in the dark as to WHY if girls don't like boys when they very young ... which is a universal truth ... they gotta INVENT a contagious disease to stop them coming near each other ... or am i missing the point here?

No, you've got the point, except it's boys as much as girls. When I was a kid I remember learning it from other kids and just automatically knew what it was...boys were icky and if you touch them their ickyness might rub off on you. It's been passed down thru many generations and who knows who started it.

you're right Shelly, thats how i learned about it, from other kids!

but as a adult i have made the remark, if somebody wanted to drink out of a glass behind me or something, i have said, go ahead i don't have cooties! :wah::wah:

I've used that one too! I also tell people "as long as you don't have cooties". Do you think this started out with the Cooties game?

maybe, i don't know, it's weird that something like that would stay with us all our life! :wah::wah:

well not the cooties but the idea behind them ...

jeez you learn something new every day!

From a distance the world looks blue and green,

and the snow-capped mountains white.

From a distance the ocean meets the stream,

and the eagle takes to flight.

From a distance, there is harmony,

and it echoes through the land.

It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace,

it's the voice of every man.

From a distance we all have enough,

and no one is in need.

And there are no guns, no bombs, and no disease,

no hungry mouths to feed.

From a distance we are instruments

marching in a common band.

Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace.

They're the songs of every man.

God is watching us. God is watching us.

God is watching us from a distance.

From a distance you look like my friend,

even though we are at war.

From a distance I just cannot comprehend

what all this fighting is for.

From a distance there is harmony,

and it echoes through the land.

And it's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves,

it's the heart of every man.

It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves.

This is the song of every man.

And God is watching us, God is watching us,

God is watching us from a distance.

Oh, God is watching us, God is watching.

God is watching us from a distance.
