I Don't Know What's Happening!

Jacob has many quirks: some cute, some rather annoying. His most recent is a combination of the two. It manifests in a variety of forms where some "force" takes over his body and causes it to do strange things.

A few examples:

When asked to sit in his chair at the table to eat, his legs stop working rendering him incapable of climbing onto his chair. "I can't. My legs won't work. See? I can't get up. They keep falling down!" And then he tries, over and over again, to get back into his chair but his legs mysteriously turn to jelly and he slides off. Twenty times in a row. 

Just out of the blue, he will run backwards and say, "Hey! What's happening? I'm going backwards. All the way over here (to the couch). Hey! Now I'm going over here (to the fridge). Look, now I'm going over here. What's happening? Why am I going here?"

When he should be eating nicely at the table, his head often does strange things. "My head is tipping. Why is it doing that? Look? See it tipping? Now it's turning? Why is it doing that? Oh, it's turning again!"

In small doses, it's cute. When it happens in response to specific requests (like to sit properly and eat), it's not as cute. When it happens fifty-three times, it's kind of annoying. Creative, yes. And also very, very weird.
