  1. 6-7 I don’t get it. I even tried to revisit my childhood mind…maybe I’d have said it if I were a kid and it was being said? I just don’t know. I like to think I’d have given it a little variation like Seis – Siete, or responded with “5 – 3 – 0 – Ni-ee -i-ine.”

  2. One of my coworkers says, several times a day, “What is happening?” I like this coworker and don’t mind at all that she says it, but sometimes I wonder if anyone has ever said anything to her about it.
