Everett, our two year old, gets up at 5:30. He pads down the hallway to our room and climbs in bed with us. Usually, I scratch his back for a while to keep him still so my wife can keep sleeping. Yesterday, I was too tired to scratch his back. So he scratched mine.
Sort of.
He'd scratch for two seconds and take a ten-second break. Then two more scratches followed by another break. Repeat for several minutes.
After a while, I said, "Hey, Everett. Watcha doin'?"
"Pickin' my nose," came the reply. Ten seconds. Two scratches. Ten seconds. Two scratches.
Hmm.
