How to get rid of cooties(101):
In the United States, children sometimes "
immunize" one another from cooties by administering a "cootie
shot." Typically, one child administers the "shot" using an
index finger to trace circles and dots on another child's
forearm while reciting this rhyme:
Circle, circle, Dot, dot - Now you've got the cootie shot! In some variations, a child then says:
Circle, circle, Square, square - Now you have it everywhere! In this case, the child receives an immunization throughout his or her body. These variations may continue to a final shot where the child says:
Circle, circle, Knife, knife - Now you've got it all your life! Or this variation:
Circle, circle, Fire, fire - Now your shot will never expire! Or this variation:
Nickel, nickel, Dime, dime - Now you've got it all the time!
Hope this helps!!!
