Wow, so this week this Charlie Charlie thing is blowing up like crazy, right?

It's yeah, well, this is what's interesting. I don't know the timeline

These things always fascinate me the the germination of a trend or idea or phrase

But these days when you have the internet and you have Twitter and you have

YouTube and people are able to post things immediately

Where did this begin they actually tracked it down right? Well, there is an article actually

It's part of their blog a series BBC trending and I think Mike Wendling did a little article there about the possible origins of

This game that started online and I believe well now it's being attributed to a Mexican demon popularly

Which I guess is not true right? It doesn't it doesn't he tracked it back to an older

YouTube video right that was posted a while back well

There's a posting again

We'd we'd have to go further back into where this thing started

But it's a couple of kids well teenagers, I guess playing a game called who gumbo Charlie Charlie

So that's that's essentially means playing Charlie Charlie the game right?

But they're they're doing it slightly differently

It's with pencils that they're holding and I guess who ever pushing them and always that would do is it's a river pushes

Okay, it doesn't it's not nearly as impressive as the ones that are swinging well the ones now

I mean, that's nothing new. I mean that's people have been traditionally something like that would be used with a pendulum

Appendent and what you do is you hold it down and in fact, it's kind of a wives tale now folklore about determining the sex of your baby

I don't know if you've seen a pregnant women do that and you know the baby shower

But you hold a pendant over doesn't actually have to be over any kind of piece of paper

Generally if you take if it swings back linearly or in a circle that you could take that to mean yes or no or boy or girl
