3V0112.01 Edie Priemer and “Here comes Charlie” 05/14/78

My mother came to visit the first week in May. She and Peggy got along very well, and she managed to amuse Peggy for considerable periods by a new game, “Clap hands, Here comes Charlie,” [chanted or sung (tune vague) three times, with action at “clap hands” – now!] The last, drawn out, with hands raised. Peggy thought this was great fun. A variation involves the presence of a small, furry teddy bear, a new present from G.G.. (Bob’s grandmother). He is hidden until the “Now!” and then he pops out onto Peggy’s lap (gently, otherwise she is too startled). It appears that his name will be Charlie. Peggy makes efforts to grasp and hold Charlie, sometimes trying to nibble his ear.
