Run, Forest.
So, at my son's request, I trimmed his hair super short. And then I dressed him like a Florida-bound Retiree. Or a character from Deliverance. And then I told him to smile pretty for the camera. And this is what I get.
Seriously, though, I can't stop laughing about this photo. Moments later, during our egg hunt, my son caught his foot in a gopher hole, flew ass over teakettle into the dirt, and his basket of plastic eggs scattered around his limp carcass. My two daughters descended on him like vultures, gleefully grabbing all his eggs while the rest of us tried to decide whether to help him up or shoo the girls away. Or eat another handful of jelly beans.
Good times.

Hilarious :) Obviously he didn't hurt himself enough for you to run to his rescue, so I'm assuming you took the 'eat more jellybeans' route and laughed!
