"Come on dad, please? Please throw the stick? Just one more time! Please? Please? Pleeeeeeeease?" Strider will sit and actually throw the stick up in the air, trying to help you understand what he wants you to do. "Hey, dad, look! Stick! Water! Throw. Stick. Water! See? Pleeeeeeease?" I trust you get the idea. It's really quite hilarious to watch.
