Babies can bring so much joy into your home, especially when their antics are so unpredictable. One little baby boy has an unusual reaction to hearing two common words, “jump” and “peanut” spoken by his big sister. If she says, “Jump peanut”, he begins laughing hysterically. He seems to be amused also by the fact that it’s his big sister using this phrase.
It probably tickles him because he shares an intimate connection with his big sister. In essence, those words trigger memories of their very own private joke. It’s not clear what he understands, but it is clear what he finds amusing. Upon hearing, “Jump peanut”, he laughs without restraint for at least a minute and he is genuinely laughing.
It’s interesting how simple phrases can trigger all kinds of responses. Luckily, this phrase keeps the young girl’s baby brother in an amused state. He laughs freely and seems very content to sit there waiting to hear those very funny words once more. It’s a great babysitting tool for his big sis to use in those difficult situations when he becomes finicky or fussy.
All she has to do is sit him down on a comfortable surface and say those two sweet words, “Jump peanut”, and off he goes on his laughter-fest and whatever was making him uncomfortable melts away into the forgotten past. We don’t know what images the words, “Jump peanut”, conjure up in the baby’s mind, but they are making him laugh uncontrollably.
It would be nice if we could all see what he sees. We’d all be running around quoting his big sis. You would hear the words, “Jump peanut” repeated everywhere, followed by hysterical laughter.
