Of my five, he's the only one I've seen doing this. When I first saw him doing it, I thought perhaps the bottle was empty or had gotten stopped up somehow, but I inspected it and found that it was full and working properly. I don't know why he does it. Anyone else have an explanation? Lisa Mom of Zorro, Claudia, Loki, Fezzik, and Crysin [Posted in FML issue 2763]
