Alright, I'll admit it. I was born and raised in MN and we always seem to come off looking a bit odd to the rest of the country. My husband makes fun of me all the time for the Grey Duck thing...
Here's what I always tell him. It was fun having Grey Duck be the "it" name because then when you went around the circle you could give everyone else a name, too. Instead of just going "duck, duck, duck..." you could make up things like "green duck, red duck, polka dot duck..." before you got to grey. See how much more fun that is than just having duck and goose?
Oh well. I've since adapted and as my girls get older I'm sure they'll end up doing the whole Goose thing.
