Mimicry

Sometimes it’s dangerous to play with kids, since they like to mime actions. Once, I was at a bowling party, and this cute little boy was drinking a soda. He had slurped up a lot of soda, so that his mouth was bulging. I pretended that my cheeks were bulging like his, and lightly slapped my cheeks with both hands. A moment later, he did the same. He wasn’t the one to get wet.
