Of course he doesn’t know any better and probably won’t til he’s oh about 23 or so. :eek: Those pictures will, of course, be blown up to life size proportions to be trotted out at all major events in his life from now on, right? **ccwaterback** aww now, what an adorable little budding artist you have there! 😃 ---

**ccwaterback** I am so sorry for this, but my first thought was, “WOW, it’s Uncle Fester as a baby!” (I am SO going to hell for that one…) And **wolf\_meister** Nair™ For Sensitive Areas isn’t much better. I thought the same thing and wound up with chemical burns all over my legs. (Using it as directed.) **SanguineSpider** , wow, I thought I was alone in my reaction to that stuff. Not that I wish that reaction on anyone else, but it sure is nice to know that I’m not the only one who _can’t_ use Nair-ish products. ---

I once had a GI Joe with realist hair. It too, fell out in clumps and looked like that. We called him Kemo-Joe. ---

It looks nasty but then I thought it’s just patches of hair now shave the rest and he will be fine and keep him away from all depillatories until he is 20. :smack: ---
