The Many Faces of Children

Everyone loves a smiling face. Especially if it is a genuine smile - the real deal, not the fake cheese smile we are all so fond of taking pictures of.

I do love a smiling face. But some of my favorite faces aren't smiling.

Kids can makes some absolutely wonderful faces. They can mush and pull. They pucker. They stretch. They are elastic, like gumby meets Silly Putty.

I can't help but laugh when I see them. So here's a pictoral ode to some of my favorite kid's faces --

"I'm A Scary Monster" Face



"Kiss Me" Face



"Are We Done Yet?" Face



"Look At My Lost Tooth!" Face



"GRR! I'm A Tough Guy" Face
