Hairy Faces

"When a man grows hair all over his face it is impossible to tell what he really looks like.

Perhaps that's why he does it.  He'd rather you didn't know." - Roald Dahl

For the majority of our married life my husband has had a beard. I like it. It suits him.

Every once in a while, he decides to shave it off.  Usually in the summer, to remind us all what his chin looks like. And in 20 minutes he drops ten years. And I'm stuck looking every second of my thirty-some-odd years. So family pictures are definitely out. I know cougars are trendy now and all....but, no.

It's hilarious to watch the children react to him.  They tell him he looks like their Uncle Travis (his little brother) and that it's weird.  The baby was not happy about him holding her until he started talking.  Then she buried her face into his chest (at least he still smells like Daddy should).

The two-year-old was the best, though. "It's OK, Daddy.  You can buy some more face at the store."
