Sometimes we don't get a lot of homework done in the afternoons.

"Daddy, can I see your face for a second?"

"You need to do your math."

"I will, but I have to check something about your face first."

"Why?"

"I need to see something."

"Finish your math, and then you can check something about my face."

"Just really quick.  Pleeeaaassse, Daddy?"

"Fine."  (Sigh)

"Ok, now just hold still."

"Ok.  Ow.  What are you doing?"

"When I do this to your chin, it looks like a butt."


"You're pinching me."

"When I only do it a little bit, your chin's just a little butt."


"I see."

"But when I do it like this, it's a BIG butt."


"That's really really really interesting.  Now finish your math."

"You have face-butt."

"Thanks for letting me know.  Now.  Math."

"Ok, ok.  Geez."

(Five minutes later)

"Oh, Daddy?"

"YES, Sweetheart head?"

"Can I check something about your ears?"

  6. The best part of this post is that it gave me a reason to start using the label "face-butt." Be prepared to see it used alot.

  10. Haha now that's an interesting distraction. Dad, it's your own fault for having such a malleable chin. You seem annoyed in the text, yet you're smiling in the pictures. Hmm...

  11. @Beta: They don't usually call me Butt-Face... to my face.

    @Jasmine: Just doin' my job, ma'm.

    @dbs: There probably is a club. Not sure it's one we want to be members of, though.

    @jillsmo: Awesome indeed. I consider this a whole new talent.

    @Captain Dumbass: That's Face-BUTT, Mister.

    @loveable_homebody: Heh. For documentation purposes, I allowed Mini-P to recreate Face-Butt after she finished her homework, and the pictures were taken then.

    @James: Dude, you really know how to hurt a guy.

  15. I'd like to adopt your daughter, Mr. Face-Butt. Send over her measurements so I can check my closet space.

  16. Blimey. I really admire the fact that you have face-butt, but you don't let it get you down, and are happy to integrate into society.

    You are an inspiration! ;-)

  19. @SciFi Dad: I did have a goatee until recently. I accidentally shaved off one side, which force me to do the rest. I already miss it.

    @Cecelia: EVIL genius, you mean.

    @Keith: potay-to, potah-to...

    @otherwordlyone: You'll love her. She doesn't take up much space herself. Unfortunately, you'll need to build a whole freakin' guest house for her stuffed animals, which I'm pretty sure she'll insist on bringing with her.

    @Annie: Thank you for your support. It's been a hard road.

    @Shorty: Did you treat your dad's face like Play Doh too?

    @Mr. Monkey: Saving Unicorns?!?!?! Sign me up!
