Exclamation Point!

One of my favorite people has an affection for hyperbole.

(Now that I mention it, a few of my favorite people do.)

For Futchie everything is the MOST,

grandest indescribably huge profound larger than life

dramatic event with a bad case of Giganticism,

EVER!!!!! (!!!!)

She's also a writer, so she can be pretty convincing.

We grew up together and spent a lot of our

teen years inseparable.

She would gesticulate wildly with her hands

and I would sprain my eyeballs rolling them.

Ah teenagers.

Insufferable.

When she got a bad haircut,

 she was shorn like an abused sheep.

If she broke up with a boyfriend,

her soul was scarred beyond recognition.

When she got a teen age zit?

Face leprosy.

Biblical style.

Well apparently my teenage unconscious is still alive,

and Sweet Futchie has tutored me well.

This baby loves to teeth,

and she's got

FACE LEPROSY BIBLICAL STYLE!!!!

People stop me in the street

and want to talk about it.

A lot.

Yes thank you,

 I've tried this,

and that, and also the other thing.

No she doesn't seem to mind.

Yes, it looks very sore.

It's teething.

I don't tell them about the face leprosy.

So when she's slathered with an

anti-face-fall-off-cream

she shouldn't be in the sun.

And since her sisters got this and this,

it seemed only just that she too

should get a little Biblical bonnet.

See what the creams did to her face??!!!

Sometimes it's best to just leave

well enough alone.

Um,

 I mean the lamb is modelling the flip side.

Do you think I should submit this

to one of those before and after shows?

Bonnet Request Fulfilled

Pu's bonnet is reversible.

Double piped- which didn't work.

She was very specific about her request,

and though the purple and red side has better piping,

it will never see the light of day.

The concept of 'reversible' is lost her.

"No mommy purple is on the inside!"

They have gone slightly Amish here,

(Those Amish know their stitchery)

I better accessorize with something punk rock.

Just to keep people guessing.

A pox on hat's! Up with bonnets!

My short people eschew
the traditional head dress.

I have tried hats of all sorts
and without crazy glue

Velcro and duct tape attachments

they are flung

far and further wide, also afield.

But here comes the bonnet!

Still a little grim about the head gear concept.

Clearly it burns.

The cuteness is high but the mitts are working hard

to disengage the new bonnet.

Triumphant success!!

A little bit of peak-a-boo-bonnet

(perhaps you've heard of it)

and the hat was deemed worthy for a road test

Even the big sister who is just learning to befriend

the hat in its many forms, was a fan.

She requested red on the outside and purple on the inside.

Who could refuse such a request?
