The Wicked Giggle


You look at a photo of sweet little Elianna like this one, and you would never in a million years guess what she sounds like when she laughs. See, Ellie's never been a huge giggler. It takes something really big or really bizarre (like when she was 5 months old and couldn't stop laughing at a ping pong ball) to get a real genuine laugh out of this kid. Smiles and shrieks are without number, but gut-busting laughs are few and far in between. So Ellie's decided to over-compensate and has made up something that to her, sounds just like everyone else's laughter...what I like to call the wicked giggle. And it sounds exactly like that. Imagine say, a gobblin's giggle, or a wicked little mouses giggle...add a bunch of manufactured force and a growling effect and you have Ellie's laugh. Her face even turns red with exertion. And she does this all the time. In fact, she's doing it more and more each day, I think because of the reactions she gets from anyone who hears it. Anyhow. I'll have to try to tape it and get it online because words don't really do it justice. The wicked giggle. What next?? :)
