Jinx you owe me a ......
I recall when I was a kid, we use to always say "Jinx you owe me a coke." Of course we always had drank Pepsi when I was growing up. Regardless it was the saying.
This of course happened when two people said the exact same thing at the same time. Whoever made the Jinx statement would get a free drink.
My two kids have learned this somewhere, not sure where. For the last two months (at least) I have continued to hear "Jinx! You owe me a soda!" from the two of them.
The statement has been changed to soda, but the concept is similiarly the same.
Here is what I hear at least 3 times a day now.
Kids make a similiar statement (to them it doesn't have to be the same).
Both at the same time screams "Jinks! You owe me a soda!"
Then both very fast babbles..."jinx, jinx, jinx, jinx, jinx, jinx,"
This goes on for a full minute.
Sigh. I recall this when I was a kid, but not over and over and over.

I heard "Jinx", then "Keylock", and you interlock little fingers momentarily. From then on there is silence. The first person to say something "loses" and gets hit on the arm by the second person.
