imitation is the sincerest form of...making fun of you

MH mentioned a while back that #1, when he does not hear or understand what someone is saying, says, "huh?"

This seems pretty normal, most people have done the same at some point. However, she says that he does this VERY frequently and that he sounds like a canadian goose. In telling me this, she then imitated the noise. We talked about it a lot and imitated the "huh" noise over and over again. Every time #1 mumbles something, one of us will go, "huh" and the other will crack up. I had never even noticed before, but now every time the three of us have a conversation, at some point #1 will say, "huh?" and MH and I will just about die laughing.

The really funny thing about it now is that he doesn't even sound anything like our imitation of him. He just says, "huh?" It's not that big a deal. It doesn't actually sound like a canadian goose in reality. It sounds like a human being saying, "huh?".

But it gets funnier and funnier every time.

I am a little worried that #1 will catch on someday when I am laughing in his face and he doesn't know why.
