A Texas grandmother says she's long been baffled about the origin of a counting rhyme that she learned from her grandmother. During the game, her grandmother bounced her on her knee, saying, "Malagee Buck, Malagee Buck, how many fingers do I hold up?" The caller learned that the game she loved as a child is incredibly widespread throughout the world in various forms, and dates back hundreds, if not thousands, of years. This is part of a complete episode.
