Favorite part (so far) of my trip to see Piglet? His pre-bedtime spaz-outs. They are the BEST.
Every night at approximately 7 PM, give or take 10 minutes, The Crazy-Ass Spirit of Hyperactivity invades Pig's body, sending him careening around the house like a blonde, chubby pinball. It is a sight both awesome and HYSTERICAL to behold.
(I've read about this phenomenon before – see Deuce's post about the first time they gave their daughter juice – and I heard about Pig's freak-outs in advance from Big Brother and SIL. However, nothing quite prepares you for the actual first-hand experience. On top of which, Piglet does his sans sugar.)
Thursday night was the best example of pure, loony-tune freaking-ness. Out of nowhere, Pig started cackling maniacally and then proceeded to ricochet from room to room, flailing about, yelling, "Away, Away!" Apparently, he was running away. Quite literally, too.
Every few minutes or so, he'd pause – as if to catch his breath – and stand there giggling like a dentist on nitrous oxide. Then he'd wind back up, and start the whole running 'away' process all over again. Round and round he went, flailing all the way, while the adults of the house collapsed to the floor in helpless laughter. It is the funniest thing I've ever seen – and I've seen Tropic Thunder twice, people.
Best of all? His nightly shows are FREE.

My 5-yr-old niece called me recently to wish me Happy Birthday. After she sang to me, a short while later, she proudly announced, "I just tooted!" Cracked me up so bad, I nearly fell off my chair laughing. Yup, free entertainment, indeed. No coupon required. Kids. They really rock their mad funny skillz. They don't even know how much they enrich our lives. Keep the Piglet snippets comin'!
