Good one, Rip 
I can't seem to get tired of looking at the things my 8 month old son does. A few weeks ago I had a pretty bad cold w/sour throat. and was coughing a lot. Well, guess what the little guy does now? He coughs! LOL! He seems to do it as a gesture, of sorts 
Hehe, amazing feat of a greater power isn't it? Wait til they get to be 2, then they are like a little tape recorder with auto-play back...funny story>>:
I have a black lab(name SOL), sometimes the lab gets out in the front yard and goes and pisses on the neighbors hedges, one day while standing in the garage with my oldest (who was 2.5 yrs, old at that time), I yelled at the dog in my usual fashion..."Sol, you black son-of-a-squeak, get over here now!"..I suddenly realized that Gordon was standing behind me, when I turned, he was busy playing with a toy, I thought to myself "Whew, he didn't catch that mistake!"
Moments later, a neighbor came by, chatted, dog went across the yard again, only this time my 2.5 year old shouts out "SOL,black squeak get over here!"...talk about embarassing!...since changed my approach to the dog as "Sol, you son of a gun, get over here!"
