impersonating dad

My seven year old son did a wonderful impersonation of me. It was damn good. Exaggerated, funny, very clever. Kid's amazing. He did a full minute bit on me. Sure, I've given a lot of material to work with - I'm neurotic and all that. The boy poked at my massive disdain of parmesan cheese, my displeasure of the cats, maybe something about vinegar or cake or something. Point is, kids are funny. They're so often fun and funny. Parents need to absorb that and nurture it. Even if there's a little mischief involved. Mischief shows thought and direction. A little fun won't hurt anything. Comedy is underrated.
