Surprise Twist!

ThePhan: SETH STORY KIND OF RELATED

ThePhan: We were watching old episodes of Lamb-Chop. One of the riddle/joke things was that you take someone's hand and touch their palm and say, "There's the baby." Then you touch each one of their fingers naming relatives: "Mama says don't touch the baby. Daddy says don't touch the baby. Grandma says don't touch the baby." Etc., etc. Then at the end, you say, "Where's the baby?" and the other person touches their palm where the "baby" is. To which you respond, "HEY! DON'T TOUCH THE BABY!"

ThePhan: My younger siblings thought this was hilarious and went around trying to fool everyone with this. Even though most of us had either seen the thing already on the show, or had had someone else in the family do it to them.

ThePhan: Seth was about five, and decided to join in, but he thought the original version was boring.

ThePhan: So he comes up to me and starts it off right: "There's the baby. Mama says don't touch the baby. Daddy says don't touch the baby. Grandma says kill the baby. Grandpa says kill the grandma."

Maryam: LOL LOL LOL

ThePhan: Then he burst into giggles and ran away.

Maryam: SURPRISE TWIST!

Randy: LOL LOL!

Randy: Seth rules!

* ThePhan was always amused when her siblings would add their own twist to things.

ThePhan: We have a home video where my at the time 6-year-old sister has a little plastic bag for fruit and is demonstrating how to make it into kind of a snake puppet.

ThePhan: My 4-year-old sister followed that up by taking the same little plastic bag and saying, "Have you ever wondered how you can make snakes named Satan?"

ThePhan: It was the exact same trick, but THIS time, the snake is named SATAN!

Maryam: LOL

Goosey: LOL LOL

Randy: SATAN SNAKES
