I'm visiting extended family for the first time in a long time, and one of my nieces has reached the impressionable age where she keeps mimicking things that she sees me do. what's a really funny but fairly harmless thing I should teach her to do?

    If she's the right age, Teach her The Game. It's a brain virus game.

    Rule number 1 of The Game, you can not think about The Game. When you think about The Game you lose.

    Rule number 2, when you think of The Game you have to say that you've lost The Game. Ideally loudly and publicly.

    Rule number 3, after losing the game you get 30 minutes grace period to stop thinking about it before The Game starts again.

    Rule number 4, once you have learned about the game you may either play the game or cheat.

    I taught my kid to say "mom drinks beer for breakfast" as soon as she could talk. Wasn't that popular with the family xD

    Give her some unconventional future career ideas. Non-edgy ones, of course. I think it would be pretty funny if after a visit from an uncle your kid was talking about sailing knots or embalming procedures or something.

    Juggling ? beginning with two balls is fairly easy and is a slippery gateway to more balls

    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
