Invasion

Let me tell you a little story about my parents. I'm not sure how old i was when this happened, but i know this is a famous story that they have told among us a few times because it describes my parents personalities perfectly. many years ago in a land right here where we live, my parents were watching a movie called "invasion of the bodysnatchers". If you ever saw the 2007 movie "the invasion" with nicole kidman than you know the story cuz it was a remake. anyway. one stark difference between the two is that the first one had zombies that would stare and point like the next picture when they would find someone who hadn't been converted to a zombie yet. in case you didn't know this is considered one of the scariest moments in scary movie history.


So to continue with the story. my parents finished watching this delightful movie and walked into their closet to get ready for bed. my parents clothes face each other, so to get dressed for bed, they always are faced away from each other. as my dad was just starting to change, he thought to himself, "i really should turn around and do the body snatcher face until suzanne (my mom) turns around to scare her." he thought it would be too mean so he decided not to. so he finished getting dressed not thinking of it further. when he finished and turned around, there was my mom the body snatcher staring with mouth open and pointing at my dad. needless to say it scared him really bad.

so when me and missy started dating, i was hanging out with her and her siblings and i told this story because it was late and dark (we were outside in back on the patio chairs) and it was funny. anyways, when i did the face i scared johnny pretty bad, even though he had never seen the movie. so it has been kinda like an inside joke to all of us. last week we were sitting around doing nothing and i told robbie, do the zombie face. he did. i took a picture. and i went around the room. the results is below.
my zombie face.

yep...tyler, your zombie face is definitely the scariest face...BY FAR! Mom still takes first for the scariest face though among our family, and I completely understand why our poor dad still hates that movie :)

So THAT'S where the face came from! What a hilarious story, I can totally picture it. I still think a scarier picture is the one of your face when it's painted like a snake.
