He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not!
"I remember saying this rhyme as a kid growing up on Long Island in New York. You pull the petals off a flower one by one while reciting this... whichever line you're on when you pull off the last petal of the flower is supposed to be the way it is… either 'he loves me' or 'he loves me not'." –Mama Lisa
