- I saw this and I just had to write. About two months ago when my daughter
- Kelsey was about 17 months she saw the WWF on TV. Without any
- encouragement (My wife and I were in the kitchen getting things
- ready for dinner.) my daughter began throwing herself to the floor
- and twisting herself into funny positions. I came around the corner
- to see what she was doing and I asked her 'What are you doing?'
- She pointed to the TV and said 'eh eh.'
