To find my 18 month old manic laughing a bit creepy (99% light hearted)

DD 18 months and a cheerful fearless soul - likes nothing more than running as fast as her sausage like legs will carry her in the park or anywhere else she can build up a speed. When she does this she laughs and laughs and laughs - I think it’s a fake laugh or at least a laugh of satisfaction rather than anything funny - think nelson from the simpsons crossed with frank butcher after a night on Marlboro reds crossed with Dracula... she does the same laugh when things are goImg her way like she gets a ball off her brother, gets a yoghurt, duggee comes on telly. It’s really funny and gets comments quite a lot but also just a little bit unnerving - anyone else got a kid who seems to laugh for the sheer joy of being in a park / alive and do any of them sound like they’ve been possessed by the spirit of a heavy smoking older man when they do it?

She's broken.

Send her back for a refund.

She’s possessed, throw her in the bin.

Babies and little children can be properly creepy. One might my son pointed up to the corner of the room (it was fairly shadowed in the evening) and said “the evil ghosts are coming.” He was about 2 and a half, baby DD was 6 months and she started laughing her head off. I backed out of the room.

My 20 month old daughter does this too. Definitely a fake laugh and also quite manical. Very odd but also hilarious

Maniacal*

I think it sounds positively endearing.

She sounds amazing!!! 😍

Glad to know she’s not the only one - god they’re weird! She speed waddled to a group of teenage boys having a kick about and nicked their ball today laughing like a miniature pirate. Luckily they saw the funny side but she’s a liability. Does actually make me a bit on edge hence the only 99 not 100% light hearted bit when more than a couple of people turn around to comment... was another park dad who came up with the Marlboro reds comment, so glad it’s not just her :)
