If Wendy is in the kitchen, fooling around with food, I sort of jump on her and bump off of her hip. This clearly means "Share." It seems obvious to me. Why, I ask, do I need to repeat myself?

When Ken is just killing time and I think it's time for a snooze, I jump on him and bump off of his hip. Why must I again, repeat myself? Why does he think he gets to be the one to decide when it's the right time for our daily afternoon snooze.
