thoughts of being funny

shared by VJ Rabuy, her sister

Like most siblings, when Cindy and I were younger, we would occasionally tease one another, all in good fun.

One of our bits, that we would use when one poked fun at the other, went like this:

I would begin by saying something, just playfully teasing Cyn.

After a few exchanges, she would reply, "You're funny… (after a dramatic pause) ...looking."

I, in turn, and in order to keep the teasing going, would make an annoyed face of some sort, and would respond by saying "…smelling."

Then, the both of us together would say,

"…tasting!!"

I thought that it was pretty funny that we came up with the final "insult" of "tasting", because how often can you really make fun of someone for being "funny tasting"? And furthermore, how would you even be able to ever prove the 'funny tasting-ness"?

After those teasing exchanges, we would admire our cleverness and would usually forget all about why we began teasing each other in the first place!
