Hannibal Lecter


If your son or daughter ever asks you to close your eyes and ears, don't do it. I did and it almost cost me my nose.

One evening last week, while Isaac and I were playing, he out of the blue asked if he could bite my nose. This struck me as an odd request, so I just laughed and declined his strange offer.

We continued playing with Legos, or Star Wars figures or plutonium or whatever it was that we were using at the moment, the nose biting offer well behind us. Then, a few minutes later, Isaac asked me to close my eyes. Suspecting nothing out of the ordinary (for some reason), I obliged. His next request should have tipped me off that something weird was going to happen, but again, I obliged. It was only after I felt warm breath on my face that I opened my eyes to find my nose IN Isaac's mouth. He was trying his hardest not to laugh which made the whole scene that much better.

I'm still not sure what triggered his desire to eat my face, but I can appreciate his drive and determination to make his dream a reality.
