Something Funny



I was reading and suddenly burst out laughing. While I wasn't looking, my sister, Amanda, who was really quite mischievous, managed to get baby butt lotion, opened it and rubbed it all over her legs. Amanda was about two at that time, just past her birthday. Amanda was watching TV but I think she still heard me. I was laughing so hard I dropped my book,and while clutching my stomach, I got my mom's cell phone. I took five pictures and a video. i almost fell over going downstairs to show my mom the pictures and video.I was laughing way to hard.
"Mom................. Dad..................... Amanda.................. funny..................... thing!" I couldn't manage to stand still!Still laughing, I clumsily pressed the buttons to show my mom and dad the video. I took a total of eight close-ups of her legs. It was hilarious!
By the time Mom got upstairs, Amanda had already gotten her arms covered with the lotion. She looked a lot like a snowman with legs and pink clothes in the Fall. I fell onto the armchair and stared pounding on it, still shrieking with laughter.
"Shush! It's 9:00! Really, Kathy, what is so funny?" Mom asked me, apparently annoyed. Parents are so weird these days.

As you should've guessed, I was still laughing. I couldn't understand why my mom didn't think it was funny. I couldn't sleep until 10:00! Good thing i have my own room. Mom and Dad would've killed me. Not physically, technically. Everytime I heard "Amanda" for another week, I burst out laughing.

So even today I still have the little video about the not-so-innocent girl doing the not-so-little incident.

  2. I love this image! I can picture the whole scene in my mind. Be sure to save that video for when you and your sister are older!

    About your memoir: I really like the way you communicated your out of breath laughter. I could hear the laughter coming off the page!
