The Things We Do For Love

Within seconds of Phoebe's birth, I noticed her distinctive chin. My little girl has an adorable cleft. The nurses asked whose chin that was. (Hers, duh.)

Seriously, the real reason they were asking is Monkey-Girl doesn't have a cleft and I wear a beard as often as I can. I said that Phoebe's chin was distinctive not unique. We share that in common.

Monkey-Girl asked that I shave in order to uncover the resemblance. For my girls, I took blade to chin and the results are in. (Check the button.)

Unfortunately, clefts are very difficult to capture on film. The forward flash hides them. We'll have to experiment with different lighting angles.

In the meantime, my chin is chilly.
