What's the time, Mr. Wolf ?

When I was a very young child I would play a game of the above name, with my friends. It entailed chanting the above words and then blowing into a seed-head of a dandelion, and then saying "One o'clock". But if all the seeds had not been blown off, the procedure had to be repeated, and if any seeds remained we chanted "Two o'clock" and so on until all the seeds had gone. It didn't teach us to tell the time but it may have helped us learn to count. It certainly helped the propagation of dandelions , and it seemed fun at the time.
