What is this teeb teeb taim taim pus muag tsiv ntsiam?

My mums says it's the hmong version of hide and seek. I'm a bit sad I didn't have any hmong friends to say this with as a kid --it sounds so cool!

not sure..... I'm an OG and I don't even recall it. Must've been something from waaaaay back.

I remember kids saying this all the time in the playground.

This must've been waaaay AFTER my time then

You're probably a lot younger than me so after.... My youth was all about jumping rubber band ropes; plas tauj lau noj txiv qaub, daig qhov quav, quaj zawv zuav; playing house; etc. haha

The 'teeb teeb taim taim' is like a music sound and 'pus muag tsiv ntsaim' was suppose to be 'pos muag khiav ntsi nraim' but he couldn't speak hmong right so it sounded weird.  It translate to 'Close your eyes and hide'.  Does that help?  I use to play that all the time with my siblings in the 80's.
