Do something that will confuse her parents a ton. Like tell her that every time she wants something, she has to touch her nose three times then say the thing. Demonstrate it a lot to drill it in.

taps nose three times… COOKIES

Teach her to say “I was born on a pirate ship”

Once she’s able to say it properly, tell her to open her mouth with a finger at each corner and say the phrase again. Get her to shout it out

Then tell her to show her new trick to mom and dad.

No no no. White cows make milk. Brown cows make chocolate milk.

Tell her a fun fact, in your best science teacher tone. It takes one billion microseconds to get to one second. Hopefully she can run with this and ask more questions.

aramus ,

I’m pretty sure that this is wrong? It should be one million. Am I too tired?

lemonSqueezy ,

My mistake, yes one million.

How to disco.

What I like to do with kids that age is cartwheels. One hand, two hands, one foot, two feet.

Good time to introduce them to interesting foods too.

Spitting watermelon seeds really far is also fun.

A good mom is always a little crazy lol.

I’ve heard that version, and there was a version of the one I wrote out that started “great green gobs” too.

You wanna know what’s surprising though? We were taught the song in school, by the elementary music teacher. She’d come through the district one school at a time, once a week and we’d have music class. Basic rhythm instruments (like those ridged sticks you rub together that we canned rhythm sticks, maracas, cabasas, etc) and folk songs and such.

It was awesome. Mrs Gore was her name. Really tall blonde lady with an incredible voice that had infinite patience with kids that couldn’t sing worth a damn lol.

I’ve never been good at rote memorization, but I remember every damn song she taught us.

Michael row your boat ashore, Puff the magic dragon, she’ll be comin round the mountain, Mary Mack, John Jacob Jingleheimer Smith (usually pronounced Yon Yacob Yingleheimer), and a bunch more.

Oh man, and my entire class when I was in second grade took part in a school show, where each class did a song. We did Amazing Grace, and there were tears among the parents, and not just of boredom or because we sounded like a random group of kids trying to sing lol. We wore these blue vests and pants (I think the girls could choose to wear skirts, I remember that not all did, but not any discussion about it). It was so damn fun.

If you know how, teach her how to whistle real high using the fingers on top of the tongue. One way is by making an O with the thumb and the index finger, bending/rolling your tongue backwards a bit and pressing your fingers against it.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

Oh look at Mr You can just do it this way or that way.

I STILL CANT WHISTLE ALL YOU WHISLTING ELITISTS!!!

😭

CanadaPlus ,

Me neither. I can buzz my lips to a melody without a needing an actual horn, though.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

Do you play a brass instrument?

CanadaPlus , (edited )

I did for like a decade. I’d still play, but I was never as good as my peers, and that shit’s expensive.

It still took a long time to nail the exact movements down, after I made the sound accidentally a couple times. There’s no resonance to rely on the way you can for low brass, at least.

jlow ,

Juggling?

Subnet64 ,

Do the burp trick by swallowing air, and then giggle uncontrollably.
