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?

I’ve thought my niece that policemen go β€œoink oink” and that pigs go β€œYou have the right to remain silent!”

Seconding lockpocking. Easy to learn, tactile feedback (very kid friendly!), can absolutely annoy parents. But be careful to teach children not to do anything that’ll seriously get them into trouble

Idk about some of these given the age bracket, but Spot the Fed is fun for the whole family.

Teach her to say β€œI 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 it out

Then tell her to show her new trick to mom and dad.

No no no. White cows make milk. Brown cows make chocolate milk.

I taught my kid to say β€œmom drinks beer for breakfast” as soon as she could talk. Wasn’t that popular with the family xD

Reminds me of the people who taught their bird to say β€œmom beats me! oOoOoOoOo”

Lol! That reminds me of how (when AOL was thing and I was probably way too young to be on it but would use it to talk to family) my mom had me type out and send β€œI bought a bunch of cars and RECTUM!” via email or AIM out of nowhere to random family members with no context, even though I had no idea why that was funny, but she thought it was hilarious. Which is pretty damn funny looking back!
