toothless storytelling

November 17, 2009 | Filed Under familial 

it is quite impossible to have this child make a normal face at the camera. he is becoming awkward in his own skin. when i was sixteen i was told that i was finally growing out of my awkward stage. how humiliating, i thought as i stomped up the stairs in a very terrible oversized mickey mouse t-shirt. and now my child is becoming a little bit awkward himself. he loves the weird teeth, that come along with it.

this is what he entitled his “normal smile.”

a busy day today, lots of running around and doing things. i drank a new kind of coffee today, something that was on sale at the already overpriced grocery store. and it made me zing about the house. the kids liked me better during school because i was zingy instead of grouchy.

ernie is out fetching chinese food. a new place, recommended. the kids ate before ernie came home and big daddy went to a thanksgiving dinner at his church (”a nine dollar dinner! i don’t think i can eat nine dollars worth.”) so tonight is the perfect night for a date and take out. i’ve been making paper things late at night, every night, but not this night. hello, general tso and crab rangoon. it is nice to see you again.
