I’m visiting extended family for the first time in a long time, and one of my nieces has reached the impressionable age where she keeps mimicking things that she sees me do. what’s a really funny but fairly harmless thing I should teach her to do?
Teach her to say “I was born on a pirate ship”
Once she’s able to say it properly, tell her to open her mouth with a finger at each corner and say the phrase again. Get her to shout out out
Then tell her to show her new trick to mom and dad.
I taught my 18 month year old niece the sound a dinosaur makes. ROOOOOOOAAAR
Flicking your cheek just right to make the water drop noise
OP, do this one
💯
This is evil
(not exactly the same noise but can be used to the same effect)
Or making the mouth pop effect with your thumb
It’d be hilarious if you taught her how to code Fortran.
I don’t think his niece is named Fortran, tho
You sick bastard! Have her do a print loop in BASIC.
He said harmless
Hey this might make her millions in the future
Teach her to order something off a foreign-language menu, invite the family out to dinner, and see if she can place her order fluently.
Doing the “Five year old white girl shocks waitress by ordering Orange Chicken in perfect Mandarian” bit IRL would be pretty funny and adorable.
Then once they got it just right, let them sing it all week.
Once the week goes by … teach them 99 bottles of pop on the wall
That is utterly evil
You are evil
- Beatboxing. “Boots and cats and boots and cats”-style.
- The pulling your thumb off trick.
- The Macarena.
- “The Game”. (“You just lost The Game.”)
- Chopsticks on the piano/keyboard/toy xylophone/etc.
- “The Name Game.”
Arm pit farts
Alternatively - hand farts for the times it’s too hot to want to stick a hand in your armpit lol
Being too hot just makes a better bravado.
Seconding hand farts. I’ve never seen anyone wash their hands after doing armpit farts.
My niece and nephew loved the “this guy” gag. What’s got two thumbs and thinks you’re the coolest? THIS GUY! and point to yourself with your thumbs.
Nah here it’s Good guy/Wank
Teach her that, it’s an important life lesson
Do the burp trick by swallowing air, and then giggle uncontrollably.
The Macarena and/or the YMCA dance, it’s fun for kids to do over and over but harmless.
End every other sentence with ~ nya ~
A buddy of mine taught his 5 yr old daughter to tell people “One time, at band camp…I stuck a flute in my…” *long pause* “nose”.
And he gets joy remembering all of the people go wide-eyed waiting for that next word out of her mouth.
Just hope he’s prepared for when she finds out the quote’s origin
Dad jokes or anti jokes maybe? Math formulas? A foreign language?
