We have family visiting for the weekend, one of whom is my one year old niece. I tried to help keep her occupied at breakfast by giving her a "horsey ride" on my knee. When my kids were little it was a tactic I used quite often, usually while humming the theme to Bonanza which only served to confuse them since they'd never heard of the show. Anyway, I figured some things are timeless and that making my niece feel like a female version of Little Joe would work as well as it did with my kids.

Not so much. She kind of got this glazed look in her eyes, and as soon as I put her down she went running for her mother. I guess I've earned the title of scary uncle instead of fun uncle.
