Hello, folks! Welcome to another edition of the Comedy Newsletter.
Kids make comedy easy! I can reach back to years ago when they were toddlers, and find plenty of humorous material. A child often develops their own interpretation of words and phrases, as I'm sure many of you parents and grandparents out there can agree.
My Three-year-old at the time had difficulty pronouncing our neighbor's name. His name was Mr. Hudera. I guess her ears were dyslexic, because when he came to the door with some vegetables from his garden, I'd tell my daughter to say hello to Mr. Hudera. She was quite happy to do that, except her pronunciation came out of her lips in a slightly different way:
"Hello, Hu-Mr.Dera!"
My neighbor always got a kick out of her trying to say his name.
When I detected a mischievous look in her eyes, I'd ask her to make sure she behaves. Her response was, "But mommy , I am being-haved already!"
Another daughter who was in kindergarten at the time, had her little interpretation of a name, as well.
I'd meet her when she got out of school and tell her that we are going to Segarini's. (A small grocery store we'd sometimes stop at on our walk home from school.) On another day after school when I met her to walk back home, she asked me if we were going to "See Greenies." I believe she loved going there because I'd buy her a treat for the walk home. She never complained about having to walk home. Although for quite awhile, the store's name was "Greenies," and we would go see it.
Actions:
My Hu-Mr-Dera, daughter, and her younger sister were playing on the kitchen floor while I was prepping stuff for dinner. There was a sibling rivalry going on between them.The thing is, the older toddler is only 13 months older than the baby sister who was still crawling. Nevertheless, she got a lesson in surprise attack by the younger sister who saw her get down on all fours to retrieve a ball that got away. While she was on all fours she was at the same advantage as the crawler. The younger one took the opportunity to throw her weight on the older one's back and pull her sister's hair. She was fast! I was shocked, but I guess she was tired of her sister picking on her when my back was turned. She wisely took the opportunity to get her sister back for the other one pushing her around while she was still only a crawler. Oh, that sibling rivalry sure starts early in life!
Cheesecake attack... That's when they get up late at night to sneak-raid the fridge looking for the cheesecake.
When the kids get older, parents can have some "gotcha" fun.
"Girls, if you eat cheesecake after midnight, you'll dream you have goats in your pants."
At least the cheesecake survived for another day.
Yes, folks, think back to those earlier days and see how YOU can find some humorous moments to add to characters in your writing.
That's all the Being-haved this witch can take for this edition of the Comedy Newsletter...
Until next time--laugh hard, laugh often!
