It's not unlike herding cats.
This brief video, taken from my i-Phone, illustrates how three grandsons can be completely uncooperative, while giving the appearance of participating in a brief group video.
The occasion was a birthday party (for me) and Emilie (youngest and childless but holding her nephew in the video - right) gave me an Arkansas Toothpick for my birthday because presumably I needed one. The Romans would have called it a gladius...
But I digress. Listen to the cooing and strange noises coming from composed adults, all in the effort to elicit a smile from a child.

Happy Birthday LL! It's amazing the lengths we'd go to as adults, to get a toothless smile. Hope you enjoyed your day with your kids and grandkids. And Happy New Year :)
Thank God! I thought it was going to actually be a cat video...which, maybe with the blade, would have made for great Internet.
Happy Birthday and congrats on the blade. Never know when you'll want to stick somebody.
And here I was thinking that an Arkansas Toothpick was just for picking teeth and cleaning nails...
Race & Wo, it would have made a great cat video. I'll have to consider the production value for a future project.
Thanks, Azra. Happy New Year!
