A toddler will fling himself on the floor to demand attention. When you are 6’1” and 220 lbs, your needs are more complex, and thus the strategies to have them met should be more refined.

To show her how serious you are, you could get down a fancy bicycle from the garage rafters and wiggle your bum at the ring camera, as you take off down the street. After that, you sip your latte and gleefully rub your hands together (in your imagination, of course)
