    A recent conversation between me and Drew (via phone, of course...):

                        Me: So, how was Jenna's birthday lunch?

                       Drew: Really fun. Afterwards, we went to Alliance for Jenna to get her nose pierced.  She wasn't able to, though, for some reason, so I got my other ear pierced instead (one of his ears already having been pierced).

                        Me: So, you got your ear pierced on Jenna's birthday? And where was Jenna at that point?

                        Drew: Waiting in the parking lot, with mom.

                        Me: On her birthday. 

      

                        Drew: Yep. 

 

                        Me: Well, can I see a picture?

 

                        Drew: Of what?

                        Me: Of your ear, silly!

                        Drew: Sure, just a sec.

                  I wait a moment and receive this on my computer: 

         Me: Uh, babe? Nice pic of you and Tally's...ears...but I was hoping for a shot that included both your ears, you know, for the full effect.

         Drew: Hold on...

        And then I get this:

   Me: Huh. Interesting psychopath impersonation there, but I still cannot see both piercings!
   Drew: (getting just a tad bit exasperated at this point) Alright, lemme try again...

   And then I receive this:

          And I proceed to laugh for a good 30 seconds.  

          Me: Baby, that picture is so crazy!  You look like some kind of...monkey-man or something...!

         Drew: Jess, it's the only way I could get one picture of both my piercings, which is what you wanted.  My face is too big or my ears are not the right angle or something, but this is the only way to show you my new peircing with the old piercing so that you do indeed get the full effect...

         Me: (still giggling) Well, it's perfect. Don't change a thing!

         If I need to laugh I just look at that picture. Aside from the obvious, make sure you look at his hands, too. They almost look like alien hands--or at least hands that are from someone else--and then the picture takes a creepy turn for the worse because why would two other people be pulling at Drew's ears?  Oh and one more thing: his left wrist looks especially skinny, which makes it even funnier for some reason.  Or maybe it's just me.

         Anyway, just wanted to share this.
