fake cry/fake laugh--anyone else?

I think we're in trouble. In just this past week, we have caught him fake crying several times. You know, where he cries about something, then stops when he thinks you aren't looking, then starts up again when you are. Yeah, he did a really obvious one the other day. It was all DH & I could do not to bust out laughing.

Then today, we were playing and he was cracking up because I was making these little rubber animals that he loves "jump" overboard into the toy bin. It was a hilarious, full on belly laugh. Then, a few minutes later, when he had moved on to something else, no longer laughing, he'd stop playing and then try to start laughing again. Like he was trying to make himself feel how he felt when he was laughing before? Make sense?

It must be a development for this age, guess I should check the books. Just wondering if this is common with anyone else?

    I love it when my DS fake laughs, it's hysterical!  So obviously fake but totally silly.

    Yes! DD was crying because she wanted my soda bottle, so i took it in the kitchen and threw it out...she stopped crying, followed me in the room, and then as soon as i turned around to look at her, she threw herself on the floor crying again.

    Yep, DD does that too. She has recently started fake gasping, like she's surprised. It's hilarious, she's a little drama queen!

    Yes and our fake cry comes with this really funny looking face too. That's how I know for sure it is fake. It's this forced upset look that is really exagerrated. If only I could get a picture of it.

    Yes.  We fake laugh in the car together, on the way home from DCP.  I start w/ a big "HA HA HA" and she mimics me.  So funny.

     If I say "Are you okay?!" she'll come running, whining, and then when I pick her up, she'll bury her head in my shoulder.  Then look up and laugh.  I say it again, she bury's her head again and whines...  Too smart!

    DS has a very distinct fake cry - easy to detect.  He's also picked up a fake cough, if someone coughs near him (real or fake), DS coughs too - it's hilarious.  We must've made him cough 25 times on Saturday - it's a little teeny cough and he stinks his tongue out a little.
