Slightly Weird Photos

A picture of my son who, upon waking up in the morning to find his four-day old balloon bouquet looking quite decrepit, turned to me while playing with it and said, "Look. All the balloons now have nipples."

So they do, son. So they do.

Wait. How do you know the word "nipple?"

At my son's third birthday party, his grandmother gave him a giant, eerily lifelike stuffed mountain lion. Justus liked to wrestle with it, prompting his grandmother to take this slightly weird picture of him posing shirtless with a mountain lion.

"It almost looks like he's posing," I said to Nicole, after seeing it. "Like he's in a magazine cover shoot."

"That'd be a really creepy magazine," Nicole replied.
