Then she succeeds to entertain others with her skills because everyone likes jokes, humors, silly things or even gossips to be laughed at.. Personally, Chick thinks that his mother is a funny person. Posey does not mind to do a “silly” thing just for a laugh to break the ice in a conversation. She can imitate some sounds well like making odd voices, imitating Popeye’s sound or Louis Armstrong. For one thing, she was funny. She didn’t mind smearing ice cream on her face for a laugh. She did odd voices, like Popeye the Sailor Man, or Louis Armstrong croaking, “If ya ain’t got it ya, ya can’t blow it out.” She tickled me and she let me tickle her back, squeezing her elbow as she laughed Albom 32.
