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?
Taught her to walk with her hands put behind like an old man https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BOTUuz_t7A
I taught my niece to say “I can’t work like this!”. That was fun!
Teach her to take a drink and then smack her lips and say, “ahhh”.
I’m not trying to grow an Instagram microcelebrity lol
Say “on skib a dee” to any young kid. They love it.
I’ve thought my niece that policemen go “oink oink” and that pigs go “You have the right to remain silent!”
I’ve thought that too.
Juggling ? beginning with two balls is fairly easy and is a slippery gateway to more balls
Do something that will confuse her parents a ton. Like tell her that every time she wants something, she has to touch her nose three times then say the thing. Demonstrate it a lot to drill it in.
taps nose three times… COOKIES

I have had pretty good luck with doing
High five Up high Down low Too slow
My nephew would just let me do it forever, always trying to beat me on the too slow bit.
What I like to do with kids that age is cartwheels. One hand, two hands, one foot, two feet.
Good time to introduce them to interesting foods too.
Spitting watermelon seeds really far is also fun.
The macarena.
If she’s the right age, Teach her The Game. It’s a brain virus game.
Rule number 1 of The Game, you can not think about The Game. When you think about The Game you lose.
Rule number 2, when you think of The Game you have to say that you’ve lost The Game. Ideally loudly and publicly.
Rule number 3, after losing the game you get 30 minutes grace period to stop thinking about it before The Game starts again.
Rule number 4, once you have learned about the game you may either play the game or cheat.
You beat me to it.
Start em young.
Also I lost the game.
Dangit. It’s been years. You flipping flipper.
Impressions. Cartoon characters are best
Tell her a fun fact, in your best science teacher tone. It takes one billion microseconds to get to one second. Hopefully she can run with this and ask more questions.
I’m pretty sure that this is wrong? It should be one million. Am I too tired?
My mistake, yes one million.
How to tie her shoes the instant/quick way. She’ll be the coolest kid to all her peers and even amaze other parents who witness it…
