Chocolate  



Children in Mexico often drink chocolate with breakfast. They stir it with a special utensil called a molinillo which is held between the palms and rotated back and forth. During the chorus of this rhyme, children rub their palms together and pretend to "stir" the chocolate with a molinillo. Children repeat the verse, faster and faster each time. A version of this song may be found in NiƱez, Spanish Songs, Games and Stories of Childhood by Virginia Nylander Ebinger.
