So, my sister and I have this game we play. Every time we FaceTime each other, we have a contest of who has the most chins or ugliest face when the other one answers. I usually win, if we\u2019re gonna be honest.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

And as I was playing with my son tonight, I found myself making \u201csilly faces\u201d at him, resulting in him cracking up.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

But as I was contorting my face into all kinds of horrific, it occurred to me that maybe that is not something to be super proud of\u2026.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like. When most people are told to make a silly face for the camera, they do this:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I think I\u2019m basically Lindsey Lohan in Mean Girls in that scene where she actually dresses up as a terrifying zombie ex-wife, missing the memo that Halloween was an excuse to dress skanky. I definitely missed a memo somewhere.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why am I sharing this information? Why am I admitting to the fact that I can contort my face into such hideousness I could make children cry if I wanted to?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mostly cause it\u2019s late. And I should be sleeping.<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
