Raised Eyebrows

According to Justin, many things in his life and about his family, "raise an eyebrow."  Lately, however, these same things have only been able to raise half an eyebrow.

"I have this Lego guy with half an eyebrow and I was trying to prove to Ethan that it could look cool on a person too."

How's that working for you?

I discovered this, shall we say "experiment", on Wednesday night, April 4, 2012.  We were staying at Grandma and Grandpa's house.  The boys had just gone to bed and I had called Justin out to ask him a question.  When he arrived at the top of the stairs, I could see from the bottom that something was amiss.

"Justin, come down here," I said narrowing my eyes.

There was an immediate look of panic accompanied by an involuntary movement that made it seem as thought he were preparing to flee.

"Justin, what happened?"

He tried to look innocent.  He failed.

The story was told and, once he realized that I wasn't mad, the panic returned.

"Dad, please don't tell Grandma and Grandpa!" he pleaded.

I assured him that I would not.  So, I immediately called Ashley over to have a look and she took care of that for me. 

Did I know she would do that?  Does a dumb 11-year-old boy have half an eyebrow?

I love teamwork.
