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 take a drink and then smack her lips and say, “ahhh”.
I’m not trying to grow an Instagram microcelebrity lol
Flicking your cheek just right to make the water drop noise
OP, do this one
Or making the mouth pop effect with your thumb
This is evil
(not exactly the same noise but can be used to the same effect)
💯
That is utterly evil
You are evil
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
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
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.
- 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.”
It’d be hilarious if you taught her how to code Fortran.
You sick bastard! Have her do a print loop in BASIC.
He said harmless
Hey this might make her millions in the future
I don’t think his niece is named Fortran, tho
Arm pit farts
Alternatively - hand farts for the times it’s too hot to want to stick a hand in your armpit lol
Seconding hand farts. I’ve never seen anyone wash their hands after doing armpit farts.
Being too hot just makes a better bravado.
The Macarena and/or the YMCA dance, it’s fun for kids to do over and over but harmless.
Do the burp trick by swallowing air, and then giggle uncontrollably.
Assembly
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
End every other sentence with ~ nya ~
Dad jokes or anti jokes maybe? Math formulas? A foreign language?
I’ve thought my niece that policemen go “oink oink” and that pigs go “You have the right to remain silent!”
I’ve thought that too.
