Laugh Lines

“Mommy, I’ve noticed that your face is changing. See these lines right here? They weren’t there before. We need to change that.”

He is tracing the paranthetical lines on either side of my mouth. Laugh lines.

“Well, buddy, not much we can do about it. I think those lines are there to stay.”

Says every woman at some point.

“No, I mean on the Wii. You don’t have those lines on your face on your Mii. I think we need to find you a new mouth.”

Of course my artist would notice. Yes, lovey. Let’s make sure the Wii version of me ages with accuracy.

Of course my face would age with punctuation.  First parentheses around my mouth, and next is probably exclamation mark between my eyebrows.
