FAMILY - Skull Mask
It's really the eyes that get you. The
whole idea of child psychology gets thrown out the window when they
have eyes just like an adult's. They look around, look at you,
look everywhere as if they know everything or are absorbing it all
instantly.
There are some things I wouldn't expect
Espen to do at age two, especially right upon turning two. But those
eyes get you.
Then there's when you cover up the
eyes.
With an adult-size skull mask.
glow-in-the-dark skull mask I've had since high school
We spent half an hour switching roles.
One person wears the mask and makes scary noises while the other two
run away and scream in terror.
After a while, Espen would take off the
mask (from himself or right off someone else's face) and
give it to the next person. “Mama mask,” “Dada mask,” - to
say who he wanted to wear it.
Definitely one of the funnest half
hours I've had in a long time. Plus – how the heck does someone who
is 25 months old even want to do that?
He actually is truly scary
when he wears that mask.
