Copy Cat

Oscar has started doing this thing, making this sound, an annoying sound, at the back of his throat, kind of like a "c" or a "k" sound with some oomph behind it. He makes this sound when he thinks something is funny, or after he says something that he thinks is funny, and he does it constantly.

Today I asked him, "Oscar, where did you get that, that sound you make? Who does that?"
  "You do," he replied.
"What?" I asked. "I do that?"
"Yeah," he said. "You make that sound when you think something is funny, so I started to do it too."
Huh.

That is kind of funny. Actually, I think that you do indeed do it.

I wonder what idiosyncratic things the kids have already picked up from me. I'm sure the list is lengthy.
