Heebie Jeebies

Grandma Winkie would often let her grandchildren take turns spending the night at her house. Sometimes, we were nice to our sisters and would "share" our evening with Grandma- or maybe my mom needed a break and she convinced us it would be better to be together away from her?

At any rate, I can often remember evenings where my little sister would get all riled up and act goofy. "I'm gonna bite your bum!" she'd shout at Grandma as they came up the stairs. Or, she'd do a crazy song and dance (literally) in the kitchen. Grandma Winkie was fun, and played off these moves. There was a lot of laughter and a lot of fun.

Grandma Winkie had a name for this "mood" that we (especially my little sister) got into-
the Heebie Jeebies.

I believe my daughters have inherited this from their mother's family. Most particularly Miranda. When she gets tired, she gets more goofy, excited. Is it a third child thing? Is it a youngest child thing? At any rate, here is Miranda's Moment of Heebie Jeebies...
