Crazy Face

When the twins were around one year old, they started doing this strange thing which we now call the "crazy face". They would hold up their arms, clinch their fists, grit their teeth, and make their body tense until they would shake and their face turned red. It's a little bit like what the Incredible Hulk looks like before he changes from a normal person to his hulk self. It was kind of bizarre and so funny, especially when they did it at the same time. They didn't do it for any particular reason and it wasn't a reaction to much of anything. Most of the time, they would do it when I asked, and they knew we liked it because we laughed and laughed.

The "crazy face" tradition continued. On her own, without being taught by anyone, Bug also began doing the crazy face. The women at the daycare asked me about it, very concerned, and wanted to know if that's what she did when she got mad. Haha! At the table, she would point at us grownups or the twins and want us to do the crazy face. She really liked it when everybody did it.

Birdie has done just a little bit of the crazy face on her own, but she didn't continue it. Last night, I showed her the crazy face and told her to do it. After I said, "Do the crazy face" about three times, she put her hands on her cheeks and said "Ahhhh!", much like Kevin in the Home Alone movie. It was so hilarious! While we were sitting at the table, she would point to people and want them to do her new version of the crazy face, just like Bug. When I was holding her and asked her to do the crazy face, she grabbed my face and yelled!
