That Wasn't It

My favorite is when my kids think they've done something cool and excitedly call me over to watch them do it again and then, when they try to do the cool thing again, they mess it up and I, not knowing what it was they were actually trying to do in the first place, feign excitement at what they actually did do and they quickly say, "That wasn't it," and then they immediately proceed to try to do it again, but fail again and I feign the excitement again, still not knowing what it was they were trying to do and again they quickly say, "That wasn't it," and this repeats several more times before I finally tell them to let me know when they have it figured it out and then several minutes later they call me back and we repeat the whole process all over again and after what seems like a thousand attempts they never are able to do whatever that cool thing was ever again. Good times.
