At some point early in our cohabitation, I taught Toby the finger-on-your-nose game. I don't know how widespread this is, but I feel like most people are aware of it -- if someone mentions a task that needs doing, everyone puts their finger on their nose, and the last person to do it has to do the thing. Anyway Toby was unaware, so I taught him. And now he uses it ALL THE TIME. It's kind of darling.

The other day I was in the bathroom and he was in the bedroom, and I remembered that I hadn't dealt with the kitty litter yet.

M: Someone needs to empty the kitty litter.
T: Guess where my finger is!
M: Up your butt?
T: Okay guess where my OTHER finger is, though.

I love that dude. And guess who dealt with the litter box? He did. Because even though he loves to play the responsibility shirking game, he's a giver.
