Mean Muggin' Machine

I realize it is time to catch up on the blog posts! I'm sorry dear readers, motherhood and work keep me busy. Have I mentioned that I teach high school English? I am currently teaching To Kill a Mockingbird. It is a lovely read, it never gets old. The kids are actuallly enjoying it. (What? Are you serious?) Yes, I am!

Anywho, Lila has a new "thing". She started it while we were in Disney World (I'll post about that too!) in January. She "mean mugs" people. It is hilarious!

When she gives the "mean mug" (which I will illustrate below), it always gets her an applause. ALWAYS. Be there one person in the room or ten, EVERYONE claps when she mean mugs. It is quite a scene.

But, now, the mean mug is displayed to unknowing folks in public. An applause is expected, and people are confused. Lila will mean mug a nurse (last week), she will mean mug innocent folks at the restaurant, the list goes on. And then she will smile and clap expecting them to do the same. People are like, "Why is this baby giving me dirty looks and applauding?"

We explain what's up and what do people do? You better believe it, they GET TO CLAPPING! It is irresistible.

The child is amazing.
