When Daddy Says No........





Leta came over last week and made us some cookies. We were all talking when Mattox notice a lonesome cookie. So he reached for it, to give it some company, and Daddy beat him to it saying "no, no". Well, you can see how heartbroken Mattox was when he was only trying to help. So daddy quickly trying to make amends broke the cookie in half (offering the smaller half, creating more tears, then offering the bigger half, again more tears, then both halfs, significant decrease in tears). It took him a while but eventually smiled at the whole situation. What did Mattox learn? When daddy says "no" he really means "yes". Mattox, spent the rest of the week trying this approach on me. Thanks honey! Can anyone tell me why boo boo faces are so cute?

Boo boo faces must have an evolutionary advantage. In the past, children with the cutest boo boo faces must have been able to get all the food, not to mention cookies they needed. As well as other needs met, for who can turn down a cute boo boo face. These children must of survive better then those children with ugly boo boo faces. Therefore growing up and passing on their cute boo boo face genes.

Honestly I don't know why boo boo faces are so cute, but your kids have very cute ones.
