performing

Why is it that children won't perform on command?
Lucy has cool new skills: waving, doing high-five, taking first steps, dancing.
But she won't reliably perform them for naysayers.
People, please tell me: what is the point of having a child if they won't perform on cue? why have I been getting up in the middle of the night?

No kidding! You should look into getting one of those monkeys that will turn cartwheels and then hold out a hat for tips.

(But now I feel very special, because Lucy waved bye-bye to me this week with no prompting whatsoever.)
