This<\/a> is so happening in my house. I guarantee it.<\/p>\n

For reasons I’ll never know, my dad picked up a routine from Snuffles, a cartoon dog in a cheap mid-60s HB dreck about antique car racing. (Don’t ask.) The dog, when given a snack, would hug himself, make doglike sounds of glee, and occasionally levitate. My dad thought this was hilarious, and would perform the Snuffles routine for his eye-rolling children. A few weeks ago, I did it for Gnat. It just popped out – I channeled Dad imitating a cheap cartoon character, and Gnat loved it. Now she does it when she gets something delicious.
\nSo we’re all upstairs having a cookie, and my Dad does the Snuffles routine. Gnat’s eyes widen – she looks at me – then does it herself. Three generations united by shtick. Hallelujah!<\/p>\n

As God is my witness, I’m gonna get Katherine doing the “Hungry? Whizins!<\/a>” routine any day now …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
