What's Happening To ME?!?!?!??!!?!?!

So Jackson really loves to have pictures taken of him. The only thing he loves more is taking pictures with his family. So when he and Emily were laying down together in their portable gym, he asked Daddy to take a picture. While Daddy was grabbing the camera from the office, he heard a cry from the living room where the children were playing together. "What's happening to me... WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME?!?" I ran in to the living room to see what was the matter and Jackson was laying on his back with a petrified stare on his face repeating the phrase over and over.

I was pretty scared myself because I had no idea what the answer was to his frantic inquiry. Almost immediately I noticed that nothing was wrong with Emiliy, however she had a fistful of Jackson's hair in a playful attempt to get her big brother's attention. Apparently Jackson didn't think this was a very fun game, but with a bit of coaxing I was able to convince Emily that this was not a good way to get Big Brother's attention. To this day, any time we repeat the "What's happening to me" story Jackson usually spoils the punchline by commenting that "Emily pulled my hair!" before we get to the end of the tale.
