Desi, din cate stiu eu, numaratoarea "one-mississippi, two-mississippi, three-mississippi" este folosita de copii atunci cand se joaca (numara secundele), iar cea cu oile are mai degraba legatura cu insomniile...

Notes to answerer
Asker: Asa este, in romana oile au mai mult legatura cu insomnia, dar e greu de gasit un echivalent romanesc pentru formula de numaratoare lenta.
