The curse of a thousand faces

I have always been told that I have an incredibly expressive face. Hard as I try, I am simply unable to mask my true emotions. Never have been and probably never will. I really wanted to look excited about that third crystal picture frame from my wedding shower or the mystery meat my neighbor brought me our first night home from the hospital. Really, I tried.

If those jeans make your butt look big, I’m afraid I’m not the person to ask if you want convincing otherwise. I may say you look fabulous, but my face gives me away every single time. I just can’t help it. My husband knows the minute he sees my eyes whether not not he’s hit a home run with whatever gift he may be presenting me with. Unfortunately, it’s usually a foul ball and there’s no doubt about it. It’s a curse.

And I think it runs in the family.

Dearest ScaryMommy,

I am writing to formally request an arranged marriage between my 4yo daughter and one of your sons… Age difference is of little matter, but cute grandchildren are. I think it’s safe to say they would be beautiful. They would have the most expressive brown eyes imagineable. Of course, they would need to live closer to me in South Jersey. And we are Catholic. However, I do have Jewish blood on my father’s side.

Sincerely,

JulieBouf

Just wait ’til he’s a teen, friend.

He will constantly be bottom row, middle. You, however, will be all middle row, left side.

Trust me.

I can not lie either. People can just tell, so it must be my face. unless I am sweating or something. Hm. Anyway, I just got a DSLR and am loving getting fast pics like this of my 2 yo. What a difference! Your pics are always amazing. Hopefully I will at least figure out the buttons soon.

I’m not sure how many clicks it took to get here but it was well worth the trip! Such a beautiful family. My face gives everything away too. I’ve also started saying things more directly the older I have gotten. I’ll be adding you to my blogroll to make it easier to find you in the future. Thanks!

23 Katie March 21, 2010 at 1:37 am

Your son is so adorable! I love the face furthest down in the middle.
