1st he rocks & tries to be as patient as he can for 10 seconds-then he tries to leave-Mommy says no

First he rocks, then he tries to be as patient as he can for 10 seconds, then he tries to leave but Mommy says no, then despite never serving in the military, he salutes out of nowhere.

HE SEEMS GREAT.

And, as for that salute, he surrendered every moral right to do that when he paid for his bone spur diagnosis.
