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.

Yes, I know, we need help.
