A wicked sense of humour

So my daughter (the apple of my eye, by the way) was in first or second grade when I picked her up from aftercare. She was pretty much always a happy child, for which I'm eternally greatful. One particular day, there was a twinkle in her eye that I just didn't understand.
"Daddy," she said, "Guess who I saw today?!" She says this with this Southern accent that has always driven me to distraction - it makes me smile, coming out of her mouth.
"Why, I don't know, Precious." Her real name is Kristina. Kristina Elizabeth when she's done something wrong. "Who?"
She says,"No,Daddy, you gotta guess!"
Well, at this point, we're strapped in, driving down the road, so -what better way to spent the 7 minute drive to the house than to play an impromptu guessing game with an 8 year old.
I round up all the usual suspects, Grandma, Grandpa, people she knows from the neighborhood and move on to less probable entities like the Easter bunny, Elsie the Cow (the Borden icon, 
) and on, and on. With each increasingly improbable suggestion she giggles harder and harder. I realize suddenly that she has to pee, and tell her as soon as we get home to run to the bathroom.
Well! We get home, get her and the groceries out of the car, all the while playing this guessing game. When we get in the house, I remind her about the bathroom. She doesn't need reminding, because at this point she's doing the pee-pee dance, and says, "No, Daddy! Not til you guess!"
"Ah, honey," I say, "I give up! Who did you see today?"
With a grin that's halfway between and a grimace, doing the pee-pee dance, with, at this point, her hands between her legs, she looks me right in the eyes and says, "Everybody. I. looked. at."
People, I'll tell you what: Very rarely am I speechless in real life.
I
She 
I started laughing. Belly laughs that came straight from my soul.
So did she.
Then she peed on the kitchen floor.
*shrug* I cleaned it up while she was in the shower.
Wonder where she got that joke from...
Hope this works
