My face
A few mornings ago, Ethan woke up happy. He was studying my face, and then he touched my forehead and said, "It's like a semicircle!" I thought that was very clever, so I asked about Daddy's forehead, which was also a semicircle, and Ethan's forehead. Then he said my face was like an oval, my nose was like a triangle, and my ears were like ovals too. Entranced with all this shape-finding, I next asked, "What are my eyes like?" Ethan thought for a moment and then said, "Your eyes are like... Puffins!"
Not puffins the birds, you understand, but this cereal Jeff and Ethan like to eat, named after the birds. Puffins are little rectangular puffy brown things. Like my eyes.
Anyway, when I probed on how my eyes were like Puffins, it turned out he just meant the color. At least that's what he said. It did seem kinda like Jeff backtracking after he said my bottom was like potatoes...
