Hey, Funny Face!


Funny faces… we all can make them. You know yours. I know mine.  This is my daughter’s signature funny one. What are they for? Do they actually make some sort of contribution to mankind? Well, I’ve pondered this and here are just some of the times you can use a funny face (along with the face to make). Hopefully this will contribute to a healthier, happier population, and, like always, feel free to post your own funny face example (complete with photo would be great):

When you’re playing the incredibly-irritating-but-still-popular-in-some-places game of, “(insert person’s name) If You Love Me Won’t You Please Smile?” Here’s to the face you make out of no-where that finally breaks the other person so the game moves on or, hopefully, ends right there. Face: It just better be a good one! Practice ahead!

The first time you smell a dirty diaper and you know you’re going to have to be the one to change it. Face: a mixture of turning your nose and panic.

The funny face game; Copyrighted by myself, my wife, and her brother (good for long trips in the car). You say a person’s name (preferably a person who is there… in the car) and count to three and they have to make a funny face. Face: Anything you can come up with that fast has got to be good. Bring the digital camera.

The faking face: when you spouse asks you to go somewhere (Husband: shopping for anything, Wife: any professional sporting event). You sound interested, and even put on a good face (you faker). This one is not actually funny but, if you think about it, the fact you’re faking what you really are feeling is funny, although, the spouse will not think so, not that I have any experience with this or have ever successfully done it. Face: Like #10, this had better be a good one…

Simply: the face of a little child when they smell something they are not used to. This could be anything from mom shoving baby food in their face (you know, the wieners in a jar stuff) to smelling a woman’s perfume in a store, making a face and then saying out loud,“What stinks?!”
