Just the size of Cobo Hall ?
I was just realizing how regional that part is, and wondered how widespread it was in Michigan.
Heck yes, I sure did! That is awesome that you know that part of the rhyme too!!!! :D
Your lovely neighbours to the north say...
Not to big, not to small, just the size of Montreal.
Awwww. Fun! |

Although I think that actually goes with Trick or Treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat. Not too big, not too small, just the size of montreal.
I think London, France, Underpants stands on it's own.
I also just sent my friend a postcard that said London, France, Underpants with a pic of Big Ben, The Eifle Tower and a dude in his undies. She is in Korea for the summer. I hope the Koreans dont take offence.
Hmmm...we say: "Trick or Treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat. If you don't, I don't care, I'll pull down your underware." :P |

Hehe yep:) And there are these other things:
sound of gun for instance: it sounds like "diksin diksin" in our films and "bang bang" in yours. Or the sound of dog: our dogs say "hav hav", yours say "bark bark" :) |

Well, at least in Argentina, there isn't. Maybe cats are pretty universal xD. |

This reminds me of a friend who used to throw her cat up in the air just to see if it would land on its feet... it didn't! She was just a kid then, but still! She's definitely not a trustworthy person when it comes to pets. |

the cats seem the same, only they are stupid here:when I was a kid, I used the call all the cats under my window (the calling sound: pisi pisi pisi) and wash them with a bucket of water... and every night they continue to come in the middle of winter |

I think dogs say the same in all the Latinamerican countries, and guns sound the same too. Cats say "miau miau" :oP |
