Not the Only One That Has a Beard

As I am tucking Hayden into bed to night, we were discussing the different hair color and skin color in our family. He grabs my face and runs his hands around the cheeks and then over my chin.

He stops at my chin, "Mom, Did you know that you have a beard!?! One just like Daddy! It is kinda scratchy. You should put some of Daddy's shaving cream on it to make it all smooth."

Thanks kid! Why do my kids have to point out all my flaws? If its not my 'squishy belly' then its the large zit I am trying to hide or the fact that I have little hairs on my chin. First thing in the morning, I am calling to making an appointment for a brow, chin and lip wax. I can't make zits go away but I can get rid of the hair.

Then again, maybe I should just let those few hairs grow in hopes of one day having something like this,

Or this,
Or even better yet this.

Oh, I like the second option! Very chic...

Sometimes kids are just too honest. Darn stinkers.

I have some hairs under my chin too. It's just wrong, so wrong.

I always wanted to be more creative with my facial hair but my wife doesn't like it. She is working really hard to convince me to get rid of what I have. I am slowly giving in.

kids are relentless. ;-) have fun with the waxing. *ouch*

CaraBee said...

Oh, those hairs on my chinny chin chin. No fun, those. It is a cruel twist of fate that we sprout hairs in unfortunate places as we grow older.

After almost 5 years together, Dummy recently walked in on me waxing my upper lip. He was shocked, "I didn't know you have always WAXED!" Being the smart ass I am, I replied, "Not always. I used to bleach."

Kids can really hit you where it hurts, don't they? I have those same chin hairs...they make me crazy! What we have to go through for beauty...or, in my case, just a decent day.

OK, I'm pretty impressed with the 3rd pic...if you could do the MI landscape I'll be super impressed! :-)

Jennifer said...

I like the one in the middle! Go for it--LOL!!

Deb Burton said...

I gotta love your sense of humor. I'm feeling little nubbies on my chin now....

Lorie said...

I almost woke up the kids with my laughing! My sister in law takes care of the waxing. Now if only someone in the family would be a plastic surgeon to take care of the squishy tummy!

Nicole said...

Let's not talk about facial hair. Or the fact that my older brother used to call me ursula the she-whitch because he was jealous I could grow a better beard then him....

Shannon said...

What are we going to do with these darn kids? I've been told I have a squishy tummy, too. And when I get a zit, one of them ALWAYS asks "what's that on your face?" Like I didn't know it was there...

Lula! said...

You and me, baby...you and me.

Sigh...

We need truffles. And wine.

Why do I always bring this up? Oh yeah, 'cause we NEED these things in our lives.

Jaysi said...

Oh my gosh that is too funny. I hope you get that second beard. I would so invite you to my next dinner party to be the "conversation piece". I couple of weeks ago my 3 year old told me my boobs were too small! Seriously??? Geesh...the pressure to impress!
