I usually say this as I'm pulling a shirt off a baby. It just seems right to bring that little childhood tidbit into my childrens lives. Tonight, for the first time, they responded! I had the shirts unsnapped and ready to come off. I said "skin-a-rabbit" before moving to remove the shirt from my Katie and she immediately smiled and put her arms up over her head. Josie did the same, though I wasn't ready to pull her shirt off quite yet. When it was Josie's turn, she dutifully and happily repeated her performance, while Katie joined in from her position by the toy bin!
Someday I will actually have to explain to them what 'skin-a-rabbit' really means.
