Meaning
This reads as a memory of early experimentation, when humor was not yet a skill but a way of testing reactions. It suggests that comedy can begin in awkward confusion, with a child simply noticing that oddness makes adults respond. It lands as a small origin story, the kind that explains a performer’s instinct without making it grand.
