Why don't kids in Minnesota play "Duck Duck Goose?"

How did Minnesota diverge linguistically from “duck duck goose” to “duck duck gray duck”? A friend who's a native Minnesotan told me about this years ago, much to my puzzlement.

    As a native Minnesotan, I find it puzzling that kids play duck, duck, goose. We went red duck, blue duck, yellow duck, gray duck. I wouldn't know how to play it any other way.

    I find it more amazing how many Minnesotans are on this web site. Does it snow a lot up there or something?

    Who else is from Minnesota? I'm not aware of anyone. And yes, we get a little snow now and then. :)
