[HPFGU-OTChatter] One fish, two fish...

[- Joy -]

It's definitely "one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish".  My parents must
have read me that book a hundred times when I was little.  I don't think the
grammar in that phrase is correct, though.  Anyone? <grins>  I've already
been diagnosed as "comma-happy" by my seventh grade English teacher... I'm
trying to get better, though.  Really!
