Voodoo trickery

by Shauna on November 26, 2009

Something is amiss.

Something has happened to my 4 year old son.

It appears he’s been taken by a herd of witches and replaced with an impostor.

An impostor who cooperates when asked to smile for the camera.

In fact, this *new* kid even directs the photo shoot.

I am so confused.

As much as I loved *my* son, I’m beginning to like Fake Ethan a lot. A lot, a lot.

Fake Ethan had me take over a hundred pictures of him.

AND, he appears to be human because I’m pretty sure non-humans wouldn’t photograph–or be able to see themselves in the mirror. (I already performed the mirror trick and he passed)

I will surely miss my original son but if Tommy says it’s OK, we’re totally gonna keep this one.

I think here he's staring at his home planet

Look! Tommy really DOES exist!

Poor Tommy can't tell the difference between our real son and the impostor

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. I’m thankful for you.

Beautiful pictures Shauna. Just proves what I’ve said all along, kids have split personalities; the one they show you, and the one they show the world! Beautiful children, happy Thanksgiving down there.

It took my brother until he was in his 20s to pose voluntarily. Congrats! I lurve that last one.

Sleep with one eye open — He’s clearly planning something.

Happy Thanksgiving!

He is going to be a heartbreaker. Voodoo magic unnecessary with that smile.

And I’m thankful for you, too! So glad to have “discovered” you. You keep me grounded. And the pictures in this post are fabulous. It must be the age because at about age 4 (he’s 5 1/2 now) my son started the same thing with the camera. And then it turned into talking to the mirror and making outrageous expressions while he spoke. Kids are just too funny!

Lucky! Do you think they have any extras where your “fake Ethan” came from? We’re currently in the market for a replacement #3. Possibly one whose body-bucking shenanigans don’t make every family Thanksgiving photo a blurry mess. We’ll pay handsomely for one if there are any available!

Ahhh yes my children have been possessed by several spirits over the years. The amiable spirit is always a joy. The problem happens after they are snatched by aliens around 12 or 13 years of age. After they emerge from their pods they are no longer human, but rather moody, mouthy aliens from the planet KillJoy.

Abdominal fat loss does not require tons of crunches, sit-ups or side bends. All you need is a treadmill and a good pair of sneakers. Crunches, sit-ups, etc., will not cause abdominal fat loss, no matter how many repetitions you do. This is because the problem isn’t the muscles in your abdomen, which are what gets worked when you do crunches, side-bends, etc.
