An hour from NY to Doraville and back.

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. bigsmile 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, cow ) 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 bigsmile 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 yikes She bigeyes
 I started laughing. Belly laughs that came straight from my soul. lol So did she. lol
Then she peed on the kitchen floor. left
*shrug* I cleaned it up while she was in the shower. love

Wonder where she got that joke from...

Hope this works

A polka clip? I can not understand what they are saying. I don't know their language.

H82typ Tuesday, April 7, 2009 11:56:35 PM

A polka clip?! No! I wouldn't do that to anyone, Carol! lol

KimberlySqueakeyCat Wednesday, April 8, 2009 2:23:01 AM

JenJavaen Wednesday, April 8, 2009 2:35:55 AM

This story made me laugh so hard! lol faint

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! p

The clip worked for me. yes I knew it would.
If that happened at a funeral I attended, I'd probably pee my own pants! yikes

Dacotah Wednesday, April 8, 2009 2:46:18 AM

Did you try the link Dennis? I goes to some weird band.

H82typ Wednesday, April 8, 2009 3:15:00 AM

The link works for me Carol. I'll post an alternate link later.
 If you want to go 'in search of', the terms are ray stevens "Sittin up with the dead" lol

Dacotah Wednesday, April 8, 2009 3:17:59 AM

Is this the band you see Dennis?

MarikeMarike79 Wednesday, April 8, 2009 4:43:49 AM

KarenNerak Wednesday, April 8, 2009 10:12:09 AM

lol That's hysterical! I can totally picture her standing there all frustrated & having to pee...and then hear the belly laugh you let out once she finally reveals the answer to you! Hahahaha! lol

Awesome story, Dennis! yes

H82typ Wednesday, April 8, 2009 10:57:21 AM

bigsmile Thanks, everyone! I think between the look on my face and my laughter, she relaxxed a little and... *shrug* lol Anyone else have trouble viewing the vid? worried

H82typ Wednesday, April 8, 2009 11:07:52 AM

No, Carol. Absolutely not! sherlock

Dacotah Wednesday, April 8, 2009 11:45:25 AM

KimberlySqueakeyCat Wednesday, April 8, 2009 4:07:05 PM

H82typ Wednesday, April 8, 2009 4:52:55 PM

KarenNerak Wednesday, April 8, 2009 5:59:46 PM

Perhaps you've gotta have a cell phone to get the proper linkage, because I got the same page Carol got. smile

Nice of Mags to post it! yes

Dacotah Wednesday, April 8, 2009 6:16:55 PM

Mags smile

Dennis, that song reminds me of what happened to me when I saw my first dead person in a coffin. faint

H82typ Wednesday, April 8, 2009 6:26:29 PM

No matter how many funerals I go to, if I look at the body long enough it seems to be breathing. I know it's a hallucination, but... eek
 Ok, Carol, spill it! bigsmile

@Karen: I tried to get youtube, vidclip full site, but they were being ornery. irked
 I didn't think of asking someone with a pc to look. zzz

KarenNerak Wednesday, April 8, 2009 6:30:15 PM

Hehe...no biggie. bigsmile

Dacotah Wednesday, April 8, 2009 8:55:27 PM

Well, my mom and I went to the funeral home to see this old guy that died.
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, yikes and then his chest moved up and down. Ok by this time, I'm pointing at him and walking backwards towards my mom and the funeral director trying to speak "A A A hehe hehe is aaalivve.." my mom got mad at me and said "Sssh" Sssh? Why only me, you, the funeral director and the guy that's in the coffin that's supose to be dead but isn't and I'm whispering anyways. I said to her "Buuttt buuttt he's alive, he is moaning and his chest is going "I motioned with my hand over my chest in an up and down motion.". Mom said don't be silly. That's when the funeral director told her they do that, that I was hearing and seeing it right. faint
My friend worked in the hospital and said alot of people that just died will sit up and open there eyes and moan. yikes faint

Peterpman45 Wednesday, April 8, 2009 9:57:11 PM

up Nice story Dennis.
I'll have to upgrade my flash player first before the video will work.
I'll be back soon. wait

Magsintothedeep Wednesday, April 8, 2009 10:12:50 PM

@ Carol

lol

Technically, that's caused by a lot of gas and sometimes bodily fluids yuck being expelled from the body. Usually, after embalming, you don't see that. Maybe the old man was never embalmed. Don't think it's legally required. I don't want to be embalmed *shudders* That whole concept completely grosses me out!!!

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 eek

Now a days, they're more like reunions smile "Hey, Uncle Joe, how the hell ya doing? Nice to see ya!" Lots of lol

At least in my circle, it's like this bigsmile

Peterpman45 Wednesday, April 8, 2009 10:25:53 PM

Just switched to the IE8 browser and that worked.
bigsmile Still remember his first hit. The Streak.
So he is still going strong after all these years. psmurf

Dacotah Wednesday, April 8, 2009 10:39:00 PM

Yes he was embalmed, weird huh?
