Pinchy, Fisty, Flatty, Cutty, Cow!

A Hinton family tradition is a game played especially for activity on FHE night: "Pinchy, Fisty, Flatty, Cutty, Cow."  The Rick Hintons taught it to us years ago.  We played it all while our children were growing up, and each of our children continue the tradition in their homes.  From Wisconsin to Logan to Las Vegas, cries of "Pinchy, Fisty, Flatty, Cutty, Cow!" can be heard on Monday evenings.
Here's the game.  One family member lies on the floor facedown.  Everyone gathers around them.  One person is the leader (Brielle here)  She puts her hands out indicating whether it will be pinchy (thumb and forefinger in pinching mode), fisty (hands in a fist), flatty (Hands palmdown- flat), cutty (hands sideways in cutting mode) or cow (hands curved like you're playing the piano)  All say "Pinchy, fisty, flatty, cutty, cow!"  The person in the middle guesses which one, usually while giggling.  If she is wrong, all do that motion on her back.  If she is right, her turn is over and someone else gets in the middle.  They all LOVE it!



Little Sammy especially loves this game and wants many turns in the middle.  This picture shows "cow."
Mackrorys have added, "or tickle, tickle, tickle."  It is such a fun game that everyone can enjoy and such a fun tradition.  Thank you Rick and Sherrie and family for teaching it to us so many years ago.
