The Joker

It's official, I am the Lovable Lions class clown! I will do anything to get a laugh. My latest antics include fake choking, fake sleeping, making goofy faces, and running in the opposite direction.

Fake choking happens every time my mom or dad tells me to chew something. The minute I stick it in my mouth I begin coughing and grab my mouth to imitate that I am choking. It's really funny, however my parents do not think so. They tell me that if I keep crying wolf, if I ever do choke they won't think so. They totally know when I am faking it.

Fake sleeping happens when we're in the car for a long period of time and I am bored. My mom asks me if I'm tired and I close my eyes and smile a little smile. It makes her laugh every time.

The goofy faces tend to come out whenever I am eating, especially towards the end of my meal. When I am pretty much done but food continues to be offered, I sternly say no in a loud voice, scrunch up my nose and stick out my lips, all while shaking my head. This is by far my favorite goofy face to display. Other faces include my mischievous one when I am up to no good, and my naughty one when I am doing the exact opposite, i.e. standing up when I am supposed to be sitting down all while mocking my parents.

And that leads me to running in the opposite direction. Recently we took a trip to the local Gap store. I was having a great time exploring the store while my parents were shopping. We had just finished purchasing the "fishy" swimsuit and my parents were ready to go. We headed to the front of the store but I wasn't ready to go yet. Speaking of fakers, like all parents, they attempted the fake we're leaving and said goodbye. So I waved back, said bye-bye, and headed towards the back of the store. I knew my mom was standing there watching me so I didn't even turn my back to see if she had left me behind. Nope, just kept running in the opposite direction. I knew she would eventually follow me as she's always telling me I'm so kidnapable. Well she finally caught up, scooped me up, all the meanwhile I'm giggling and squirming the whole way out of the store.

And of course, I deserve the class clown award at school. I will do anything to make the other kids laugh at me. Last week was the orange cool-whip episode. I decided that it would be funny to put the cool-whip on my shirt and lick it off, rather than just using the spoon. Then this week I decided that I would treat Emily like the Pillsbury Dough boy, so I started pushing her belly button and on cue she would laugh each time. The class thought that was hilarious.

Needless to say my personality is blooming and people are giggling in return.
