Ooh's and Aah's

My three-year-old brother, Mark, put his arm on the table and said to his father, "Daddy, feel my muscle."

Dad squeezed his arm and murmured, "Oooooooh!"

Mark put his other arm on the table and flexed his bicep, then asked Dad to feel that muscle.

"Aaaaaaah!" exclaimed Dad.

Mark got a puzzled look and said, "How come this one's oooh and the other one's aaah?"
