Chicken Pox
I've really got to learn to take pictures in the moment better. Yesterday Landon came running into the room while I was on the phone. He loudly whispered "I have the chicken pox" while trying to get my attention. I looked over at him and he really did have red dots all over his face. But I know him better than this, and I said "what is it really? I don't believe you." He gave a shocked look, and said "No, really". I thought it was dryer lint or something of the sort, so I wiped at his face, but the spots didn't go away. The lighting in the room wasn't great, so I could not for the life of me decide what these spots were that looked convincingly like chicken pox. But I was mid-conversation on the phone, and just laughed and told him "I don't believe you". He just laughed. When I got off the phone I kept asking him what it was, he finally told me. Apparently this is a perpetual problem for him. When he blows out the big candle in the kitchen, he gets a little too close. The red wax sprays back up at him, and he ends up with reds wax spots all over that look like some sort of pox. Smooth.

Awesome. That made me laugh out loud. (Except I have spattered candle wax on things before, too. Not my face. yet).
