A wicked sense of humour
Tuesday, April 7, 2009 11:42:38 PM
"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

I could so see Ava doing something like that. And the way you handled it was so sweet!
I frankly thought we were gonna get a fire story!
The clip worked for me.
If that happened at a funeral I attended, I'd probably pee my own pants!

If you want to go 'in search of', the terms are ray stevens "Sittin up with the dead"

Nice of Mags to post it!

Dennis, that song reminds me of what happened to me when I saw my first dead person in a coffin.
H82typ # Wednesday, April 8, 2009 6:26:29 PM
Ok, Carol, spill it!
@Karen: I tried to get youtube, vidclip full site, but they were being ornery.
I didn't think of asking someone with a pc to look.

Like I said, my first time in a funeral home and first time seeing a dead person. I was looking at him in the coffin and my mom was back farther talking to the funeral director. All of a sudden the dead guy moaned,
My friend worked in the hospital and said alot of people that just died will sit up and open there eyes and moan.

I'll have to upgrade my flash player first before the video will work.
I'll be back soon.

Technically, that's caused by a lot of gas and sometimes bodily fluids
The video reminded me of funerals I went to long ago. They were terribly morbid. All of the older women would dress in black, with big hats, and nets covering their faces. Sobbing. God forbid you uttered a sound
Now a days, they're more like reunions
At least in my circle, it's like this

So he is still going strong after all these years.

It is a monumental day!
It feels odd. And nice. In a "remember this feeling cuz it ain't ever gonna happen again unless Dennis posts another vid clip" kind of way.

A very well known kind of funny gags from my own kids when they were small
