Funny Kids

At a family reunion a couple of years ago in Canmore, I saw some of my cousins that I had not seen in a long time. Andria, who is now married and almost thirty, brought her three year old daughter, Kenedy. Now this girl was like no three year old I have ever been in contact with. I'm not gonna lie, she probably sounded more proffessional than me! She was incredibly articulate! Anyway, my cousin Ashleigh who is around my age, and I took all of the younger kids to the park across the street to play around before dinner. Kenedy walked up to the swings and forced herself up like a dog trying to climb onto a tall bed. She started swinging, but then suddenly stopped, a look of confusion on her face. She then stood up on the swing, looked down and blerted out "there is bee buzzing beneeth me!" Ashleigh and I exploded into laughter, totally ignoring the little girl stading on a swing that was higher off the ground as she was tall.

Another time I experienced this was acctually when I did something hilarious. Last year my family and I were going through old family videos and we discovered a very funny one of me. The video stated off with my mom reading my favorite book and then handing it to me. "Can you read it?" asked my dad. I knoded my head and started "reading." It wasn't acctually reading though, I had memorized the first two pages of the book! I "read" it quickly and clearly but when my dad asked me to "keep going," I froze. The look on my face was priceless! It was embarassement mixed with anger for my dad, knowing full well I had barely even figured out the concept of reading, who continued video taping me. The best part was, I tryed to cover it up by saying "uhh... I'm good," and ran away, my face cherry red!
