I’m babysitting my friends’ 5 month old and 3 year old tonight. The baby is the nicest, most calm baby ever, so I’m not worried about that. The three year old, on the other hand, is a handful in all the best ways (seriously, she’s super smart and super funny). So, what obnoxious things can I teach the 3 year old (well, she’s almost 3) in a span of 3 hours?
Ideas thus far:
[ul]
[li]I could teach her how to Dougie.[/li]
[li]I could teach her to respond to everything with, “BUT DADDY, I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE HIM!”[/li][/ul]
More ideas?
(And before everyone thinks I’m a crappy friend, her parents already do things like this. For example, one day, she was playing a game where she decided she was hiding from snakes. Her dad taught her to say Nazis instead. So, now, she hides under the stairs at my house, pretend shouting that the Nazis are coming).
As in “hey duuuuude!” or “I don’t - what do you think, duuuuuude?”
I did that with a friend’s 3 year old and it was…very effective. I got in a bit of trouble because the kid would not stop. Face it, the word Dude is pretty funny on a few levels to a little kid…
I like to teach kids how to do a Bronx cheer or raspberry. If the kid’s dad is a sports fan, teach her to follow it up with the name of his favorite team.
When I was small, my uncle, who was a NY Giants fan, taught me to do that and go up to another uncle who was a Dodger fan and go Thbbbbbbbbbt! Dodgers!
When my 4-year-old niece had her birthday, I taught “Happy birthday to you, you live in a zoo” to her older sister. Older sisters need to know things like that for a younger sibling’s birthday. I’m her mother’s older sister, I know these things.
Teach her to call out “loser” and “sucker” to cars being passed while they’re on the highway. My son started doing that and it was pretty funny, until he started doing it to people’s faces.
