Jana-isms

Photobucket
I am thankful to God for this child. I know for sure everyone in our family is. She provides the most laughs in our home. This is her sneaking into my studio and taking pictures in photo booth.
We had friends over a while ago and they showed us Achmed on youtube. Jana LOVES fridge food like cherries, raw green peppers, cucumbers, basically any raw food. But the thing is she can't stop until it's all done. The other day Jana was eating cherries out of the fridge. Jaku and I was sitting in our living room drinking coffee and saw her sneaking into the fridge. Jaku said to her that she can have one cherry now and another one in an hour's time. She acknowledged him and then the next moment she looked at him and said: "Silence! I kill you!" imitating Achmed exactly. Jaku, Tia, Kirstin and I howled from laughter. Jana came up to us and said: " what's that noise? Laughter? I have never heard of it"
we lost it. totally.
She is 7 years old. I just want to add that she was just being funny and did not mean it disrespectful... she knows the difference.

I am thankful for laughter, except when milk comes out of my nose. ~Woody Allen

Oh yes, I know the humor you talk of. My daughter is 13 and can also recite Achmed! All the time!! I think everyone needs a child of laughter in their family.

Just looking at her makes you want to smile.

I have never seen Achmed--maybe I'll have to do some browsing on YouTube later.

It is wonderful when a child says something that truly cracks you up, don't you think? It's funny, but there is also a feeling of wonder that you get as a parent, like, "wow, is this sweet funny person the one who was my little baby just a few short years ago?!!!"

Yes, our family loves Jeff Dunham as well! My son sang Jingle Bombs all through the holidays! I had to balance it with regular carols. He is only 10 and is really good at whipping out those little zingers from achmed just like your daughter-so spontaneous and right on the mark! too funny!Don't you just love the comedic part of their personalities!

As for Jana, I am convinced that humour is the highest form of intelligence! Wonderful to enjoy!!!

What a joy it is to have a child like that! We too are blessed with our Talitha. She is so different to the rest of us, and we embrace that. What a joy they are!

Oh that is too funny! Did you know that Jeff Durham (the 'voice' of achmed) is going to be in Saskatoon in a couple of weeks? That would be a funny show.

I think I saw you in Starbucks today! I didnt come say hi because I was all stinky from just being at the gym...plus I wasnt sure if you would remember who I was! LOL

Virginia said...

Oh, that made me laugh!!! How cute! Your kiddos are so pretty and spunky and cute. I love it!

Incredible how much joy these little ones can give...so you have a real "clown" in the family...each family must have one.
