Well, you caught me!

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.

Catch a human by her toe.

If she hollers...

Well, I'm not gonna hear it.

I'm not sure why River felt the need to stand on my foot, but we were stuck like that for a few minutes.  I think she was trying to ransom me for oats.

I managed to secure my release with the promise of oats once we got downstairs.  Even with my assurances, she stopped me on the way down to make absolutely sure that I didn't have any oats on my person (as if I was holding out on her).  River is very serious about getting oats!
