Does this sound strange to you? Dr. Spock doesn't mention it...
Cooper plays possum. He acts dead to get our attention.
It started about a week after the trach came out. It goes like this: Cooper gets mad at something (usually involving Charlie, because Charlie is the bain of Cooper's existence these days). He screams for about 5 seconds, then falls to the ground, buries his face in the carpet or hardwood, and lies perfectly still. He got me the first time. I saw him lying still and rushed over to check on him. I leaned over and he turned his head up and smiled. GOTCHA. Silly me, I just thought you might have a plug in your trach and stopped breathing. Oh wait, the trach is gone...
Two days later, Brian watched the boys while I went to the Teeter. When I walked in the door, the first thing I heard was "have you seen Cooper play possum?"
Stinker. Got Daddy too. Clever little rascal...

Um, maybe he's a super smart Kahn kid who has figured out that screaming won't work but pretending to be dead, well, that will certainly do it?
