strings

when you were little, did you ever pretend that there were strings attached to your lips?
and then you'd pull those imaginary strings, distorting your lips into grotesque and hilarious shapes and sizes?
please tell me you did it, and i'm not just crazy. (erin?)
today while i sat on the bus headed downtown, i laughed quietly to myself at the boy who sat at the very front, pulling and stretching his lips with the imaginary strings. it made me giggle, think of silly childhood things and smile as i got off the bus and walked in the bitter autumn wind. 

then i got home and had a mug of white hot chocolate.
Photobucket
so yummy.

what made you laugh or smile today?

i have never heard of that with the lips and the sting. i guess i missed out a little on my childhood if you saw others doing it as well.

cool picture!!

the little kid with the sweater and collared shirt was what did it.
