Pandeben

My father always did this little Danish face rhyme with us. And I do it with Morty. He gets a big kick out of it. For some reason, I looked it up on Google, and found this video on YouTube:


Love it.

Then I also found this rhyme for the fingers:

The rhyme goes like this:
Tommeltot faldt i vand,
Slikkepot trak ham op,
Langemand bar ham hjem,
Guldebrand puttede ham i seng
Og lille Peter spillemand løb hjem og sladrede.

Thumb fell into the water,
Indexfinger pulled him out, (slikkepot is referring to the finger you use,when Mom has made a cake and you get to lick the bowl),
Middlefinger carried him home (Langemand - means the longest finger  Long man),
"Golden fire" (the 4th finger carrying gold) tucked him in bed,
And little Peter "Fidler" (the one of the flock "playing up") ran home and


When I do it with Morty, we just say as we point to each finger:
Tommeltot, slikkepot, langemand, guldebrand, og lille Peter spillemand!
