Very simply, he wants your undivided attention. I'm surprised he didn't mow past you and say, "Hey look, no hands!" This is funny.

Just let it keep rolling off and see how silly he gets trying to get you to focus on him. He doesn't like not being the center of your vision.

It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
