I'm visiting extended family for the first time in a long time, and one of my nieces has reached the impressionable age where she keeps mimicking things that she sees me do. what's a really funny but fairly harmless thing I should teach her to do?

It'd be hilarious if you taught her how to code Fortran.

They said Fortran, not COBOL

You sick bastard! Have her do a print loop in BASIC.
