This past weekend I was sitting at the table having a snack with Quincy. I was eating a hand full of small twisted pretzels. We were having a really nice time just sitting at the kitchen table chatting when I decided to do something goofy (like I often do). I picked out a nice even pretzel and proceeded to bite open the bottom loop. I then put the pretzel on my nose like a tiny pair of glasses. Quincy found this funny, but only gave me a little smile and a weak giggle. So, I decided to up the game with a pretzel earring. That again only got another weak grin and giggle. Suddenly Quincy stopped laughing, got a very serious look on his face and just stared at me for a moment as if he was deep in thought. Then, without a smile, he said to me…
You’re a funny man, daddy.
Quincy must have a discriminating sense of humor - he’s not always going to fall for your pretzel parlor tricks. If you want to get him rolling, I suggest Cheetos up the nose. Make it the “Flaming Hot” variety, too…and see how long you can keep them in your nostrils.
In fact, file that one under ideas for the Pointless Web Designer Science Experiments.
Kevin, if you want to swing over to Chicago and give it a go I’d be more than happy to give up the Funny Man title to you. It would be worth it just to see. And I had forgotten all about the Pointless Experiments thing. HAHA.
