Okay, goofy question time...
When you (or your children) count seconds...do you say something more like
1-Mississippi, 2-Mississippi, etc?
Or do you use "sugar plum fairy" instead of Mississippi?
Or something totally different?

Same here. Sugar plum fairy seems to have an extra syllable.

Well, since you asked, we've been known to say, "1-little monkey butt 2-little monkey butts 3-little monkey butts...
Yes, I know, we need help.
