My old boy does this! I like to say, “Scratch, scratch, lick, lick” He is a goofy 15 year old boy and can’t reach all the spots anymore.

Reply to TIL that Dorothy's line to the Scarecrow 'I think I'll miss you most of all' is a holdover from the original script where she and the farmhand played the same actor had a romance by Sensitive_Deal_6363

That’s interesting! Wicked has the romance between the wicked witch and her lover, who is implied to have been reincarnated as the scarecrow.

Definitely a better choice than that troublemaking 12 year old Kansas gal!
