While his mom is cutting the chicken into pieces, Rustin is dropping his hands onto the table. He smiles when he realizes that his hands are the ones making the noise and that the noise is coming from him. He tries to climb onto the surface of the table but his mom stops him. Rustin goes to get a piece of chicken with his right hand and places it in his
