Do you remember singing "A-oony-koony-chah-a-oonie" at Camp Natoma? There are hand/arm motions where the left arm/hand is held out straight in front while the right hand pats the left wrist - elbow - upper arm, and then the right arm goes out and the left hand pats, and then back and forth and so on.
This morning Kat told me she had been learning some Indian dances, and I asked her to show them to me. One of them was the arm-hand-patting thing, and I said, "Oh, that looks like Oony-koony-chah," and she said yes, that's what it was, but she didn't know the song.
So I sang Oony-koony-chah while I was standing in the kitchen making my lunch and she did the arm-hand motions, and we had a great time. It was so fun to have her know about the song. A substitute teacher taught it to her class.
How fun to have an old Camp Natoma song come into my life this morning!
