He has a rash that he keeps making worse by scratching. This morning, he was not listening to my repeated "don't scratch" in English, so I attempted to say what Daddy says. He smiled, and immediately it turned into a game: He'd reach his hand out as if to scratch; I'd say, "Don't scratch"; he'd prompt me ("ka!") to say it in Swiss German, which I'd attempt, and he'd smile.</p>
<p>Only later did I learn that instead of saying, "Don't scratch," I was telling him, "No cats."</p>
