And I quote

So the granddaughter was trying to choose what to take for pre-school show and tell this morning. She narrowed the decision to two items and fell back on the centuries-old process of elimination. 

Sort of.

“Eenie  minee  meanie  moe catch a tiger by the toe. If you ever saw it you say it glows. Meanie eenie minee mo.”

It worked, she chose one and headed to the car. 

She will be four in a couple of weeks.
