Pikachu, I Choose You!
Filed Under Raising Charlie And Alex
I love these two little children to pieces but that doesn’t mean they don’t confound me. I know I don’t exactly have the most serene face around. But even I have a “still” face. Not Alex. Her face seems to have a life of its own, wriggling and squirming at unprecedented speed.
What is her face doing here, for instance? Only she and her facial muscles know.
Her face is at it again.
Fortunately, Charlie is too young to be scared by the almost spastic play of expressions.
Speaking of Charlie, it’s not her expressions that puzzle me. It’s her hair. It defies gravity and sticks out every which way. Some days, I tell the husband perhaps we should try turning the babe upside down and use her hair to sweep the floor. My aunt tells my hair used to be exactly like Charlie’s. My face, too, except for two things: my forehead used to be the size of Mindanao and Charlie’s nose has “failed to launch.” 
Note: In the off chance you’re actually thinking about the title, it’s a reference to Charlie’s hair. She’s not a pokemon (though she could pass for one) but her hair looks like she had a run-in with one – specifically, one with the power to fry your braincells. I know! I watch too many toons.

charlie’s hair is a sign of hair that is really really straight. LOL my hair used to stand up more than charlie’s daw.. LOL but somebody just had to keep their hair tied up or kept together using a clamp so its not so its not straight anymore.
