Martha's favourite game
Over the years I have come up with different ways of entertaining myself. My current favourite requires:
- A 2 year old (although other ages would probably work)
- A victim (spouse or partner ideal)
- Knowledge of victim's most loathed music artist
Method
Teach child to say "Phil Collins is Daddy's favourite".You'll laugh a lot, child will laugh a lot, and basically almost everyone is happy.
When spouse tries to teach 2 year old "Celine Dion is Mummy's favourite" it won't work. You've already made the best joke, and child knows this.

Have you got older kids? A great wheeze to play on them is to suddenly announce your admiration of the Olsen Triplets - Mary, Kate & Ashley. Wait a while & ask if they know why you only ever see 2 of them at any one time, and is it the anorexic one who keeps out of the public eye?
trust me, this works numerous times, just give it a few days or weeks between attempts.
I never tire of it.
Funny how when you're a kid you think parents do stuff like that because they're dense, but grow up and you realise they do it because it is HILARIOUS.
Well I always think so :)
it's most amusing when there are a group of "tweenies" present. There is always one who is going to take it on herself to correct you.
Daddy's favourite what? Play thing? ;-)
Ewwwww Mike.
