My Kid, the Comedian

Go off into the weekend with this…

My five year old daughter is definitely her father’s child.  I love movies.  She likes movies.  I like great movie quotes.  She likes great movie quotes.  One of our favorite Christmas movies is “Elf” with Will Ferrell.  There are several memorable quotes from this lovely holiday film.  She used one with perfect comedic timing last Sunday…

I was laying around, watching football.  She was sitting on the floor, playing a game.  She picked up one of those youth baseballs (it’s looks like a baseball, but isn’t hard.  It’s squishy, but it’s the same weight as a real baseball).  She chucked it over toward me.  Being half asleep, I didn’t react as quickly as I should have.  Her aim was, well, painful… right in the  jewels (or whatever crude term you prefer). 

As excruciating pain repeatedly shot from my groin up through my back, and as I labored to keep from puking all over the place, my daughter didn’t miss a beat.  Straight out of “Elf” (and without any knowledge of the male anatomy), without missin’ a beat, she screamed, “Son of a nutcracker!”

Now that you’ve had a good laugh at my expense, have a good weekend.  Before you go, read Psalm 14 and then the post below.  See you on Monday.
