SpongeRandom Squarepants

We're a Squarepants family. We've been watching Spongebob for a couple years already, and since it seems to be on Nickelodeon thirty times daily, Gamble will default to it if there's nothing on.

Spongebob has a pretty annoying laugh. It really gets Squidward's goat, and Gamble thought that was funny. So he'd run around the house laughing like Spongebob, "Daaa-aaa-aaa-aaa-aaa!"

Turns out Nicole and Squidward share a distaste for that laugh.

But she's way smarter than Squidward. Oh, yes.

She combats laughter with laughter. She started doing the Spongebob laugh back at him.

And this just became one of our things. We occasionally will bust out with a Spongebob laugh whenever we're frustrated, stressed, or angry. Truth is, it's even outlived him doing it. Now it's more our thing than his.

Well, interestingly enough, I was talking to Nic from the drive home today (hands-free), and something came up where Nicole shouted out "Daaa-aaa-aaa-aaa-aaa!"

And from the phone I hear a distinct echo. Random: "Daaa-aaa!"

We cracked up. And to prove it wasn't a fluke, Nicole did it again. And again and again Random echoed the Spongey laugh.

I can't wait. "Dada? Daa-aa-aaa!"
