Aardvark!!

This is totally one of those "you had to be there stories", but I think it is still funny so I am going to post about it.
The other day I was outside playing "4 square" with some of the neighborhood girls (ages 9-10).  Do any of you remember playing that during recess as a kid??!  Well anyway, we were playing and one of the girls makes up a rule that you have to name an animal when the ball come to you, or you are "out" and no animals can be repeated.  Easy, right?
So we each say our first animal, continue to play for about 10 seconds and then just as the ball is coming to me, I had to think fast about an animal and the next thing you know, I shout out,
"Aardvark!"
It was such an impulsive thing to yell (I mean really, who thinks about aardvarks?!) and caught me by such surprise (even though it came out of my own mouth) that I immediately started ROFLMAO!!! (For those of you not in the know about internet lingo that is "rolling on floor laughing my ass off").
The girls had never heard of an aardvark and didn't quite understand what was so funny, but I do not think I can hear that word again without recalling this incident and laughing!
Aardvark!

Very funny!!! Isn't it at the most random times that we think of the weirdest things sometimes?

I remember 4 square -- I do not remember the animal rule, but I think we would have loved it. Aardvark!
