The Kid Amuses Me

The Kid, as you may have heard, cannot decide whether she wants to be a manga artist, a cartoonist, a game designer, a breeder of cats, or a stand-up comedienne for her adult career.

Just in case it comes to the last, however, she is working on her stand-up routine.  Yesterday she previewed a bit for me: if I had YouTube Skilz, I would YouTube.  As it is, you will have to visualize.  The Kid uses her two hands as puppets, each talking, like ducks.  She does robot-like voices.

Hand One: Hel-lo, Hu-Mans.  We Come In Peaces.

Hand Two: In PEACE, you Idiot!

Hand One: In Peaces.

Hand Two: In PEACE!

Hand One: Peaces.

Hand Two: Look in the instruction book, you idiot! It's Peace!

Hand One: (scribbling in an imaginary instruction book, adding an S, I assume): See? We Come in Peaces.

Hand Two: You -- you just added a scribble!  That's just a scribble!  It's We Come in Peace!

Hand One: (Smugly): Peaces.

Hand Two attacks Hand One, viciously, and they have a spitting snarling fight, which ends with Hand one limp on the bed and Hand Two upright, saying,

Hand Two: Hel-Lo, Hu-Mans.  I come in Peace.  He (gestures to the fallen Hand One) comes in pieces.

It's even funnier with her voices and gestures. I wish I did have YouTube skills.

The kid should be a stand-up comedienne! That's very funny.

A play on words... at her age! She has a good command of the English language. I wonder why!! She can always do stand up on the weekends and be... oh, let's see... a scientist during the week. Doesn't Herr Dr. delagar upload things onto Youtube?? Ask him for help.

Is the cat breeder thing because of Maru? I am now totally, daily hooked on what must be the most charming cat blog on the web, because of you.

delagar said...

Maru is b/c of the cat breeder -- her BFF has cats, and the cats had kittens, and that was that.

Livia said...

Well, kittens. You know it's a trap, but resistance is futile.

Have you ever considered about adding a little bit
more than just your articles? I mean, what you say

is valuable and everything. But think of if you added some great photos or video clips to give
your posts more,

"pop"! Your content is excellent but with images and video clips,
this website could

certainly be one of the very best in its niche.
Good blog!
