I’m afraid we are raising a little comedienne. This girl loves to make us laugh, and she currently has two tricks that are both amusing and disturbing.
Here is how she learned trick #1:
She started doing this a month or two ago, bonking herself on the head whenever you say the words “bonk your head” or “bump your head.” I couldn’t figure out why in the world she would do that (what was Michael teaching her when I wasn’t around?!?) until I realized that she learned it from this song/rhyme that we had been saying at one of her library programs. Because we clearly thought this was amusing, she has continued “bonking” her head whenever you talk about it, and she expects us to laugh. Sometimes this means using her hand to “bonk” her head, and sometimes it means headbutting an item or another person.
Trick #2 involves her falling over whenever she is told to “not fall over.” She gets this mischievous look in her eye, and will topple over backwards without looking behind her in order to get laughs.
For example:
Clearly physical comedy and head injuries are the jokes of choice around here.
What could possibly go wrong?
