Speaking in tongues

It has been a while since I have had the energy to post, but I wrote down my ideas so hopefully I will have some good ones to read.

This happened about 2 weeks ago. I was sitting on the couch at the end of a very long day and I was exhausted. My middle daughter asks me why it got dark so fast outside. I glance up and see a cloud had covered the sun for a moment. Well, my response went something like "I ah mmm we duh um eh o alve ah dkcghfnd..." you get the picture. All of a sudden I hear hysterical laughing coming from the kitchen and my wife, after she composes herself, asks me when I started speaking in tongues. Unfortunately, this is not the first time this has happened and I can bet it will not be the last.

the question is how do you recover from this after your 4 year old looks at you like you are an idiot. Simple the tickle monster comes for a visit. After she has laughed herself into hicups she won't remember that you sounded like a blathering fool. two problems solved. She gets a laugh and you get to save face due to some tickle induced amnesia. It's a win win situation.
