Hmmm, that photo looks fake. I can't say exactly how, but there is clearly something fishy about it.

Little guy before and after eye surgery. Holy wow! He got cuter again? I'm not sure this increasing level of cute is sustainable...

Our experience is the cute is sustainable at least until high school or the first time they wreck the car.

Well, junior high school. Seventh-Grade-Itis.

Must be some evolutionary value to adolescent rebelliousness but i haven't figured it out.

A possible explanation:
Reduced cuteness (to parents) would promote them leaving (reduced attachment between parents and offspring) the family/local group (closely related gene pool) prior to breeding (increased likelihood of breeding non-relatives).
To some degree this seems typical teenage/ juvenile behavior in some mammals (as well as humans).
It could reduce inbreeding by reducing contact with those more closely related genetically.

Could be tied to maturation and hormone changes.

This has actually been researched..

I would like to post my photo. First I need to get a new webcam. Then some candles so there will be some light in the room. Also a Guy Fawkes mask. Finally a red rose, since that's my avatar.

Or I could just post a photo of someone who looks a lot like me. Although I would not do it for legal or just politeness reasons. I was amazed to find an apparent doppelgänger in a very surprising context. Creepy. Has anyone else come across a doppelgänger online? Would posting my doppelgänger be an example of "fair use?"

So, I lost all my documents and to get new ones I had to take a picture of myself. I doubt this one will be accepted by authorities, but I admit I had plenty of fun :smile:

A lot of me is falling apart but the hair, although an impressive White colour, is pretty rampant (not a hint of a bald spot - eat your hearts out you testosterone loaded alpha males) but I keep it pretty short (No 3 or 4 at the side).
We must stop now or we'll end up discussing which Products we use. ?:)
