Clapping inside my ears

Cooper: Ok. Everybody listen and tell me if you hear something that sounds like a cricket…

… Did you hear that?

Me: Nope. Didn't hear anything.

Cooper (disappointed): MAN! I guess you guys just can't hear it when I clap inside my ears.

Me: ………………(processing)……………. What?!

Cooper: I guess you guys would call it "raising you eye brows, then letting them down, then raising them again, then letting them down…" But I call it clapping inside my ears.

After about five more minutes of explanation I finally figured out that he was trying to wiggle his ears, noticed the sound it made in his head, and thought he had figured out how to make cricket sounds that others could hear as well.
