Sometimes, they are just too smart for our own good...

Jonah was making faces the other day when Holly told him a story that her mother had told her.

"Jonah, Grandma told me a story when I was your age about a boy who kept making faces and his face stuck that way."

"Really?" Jonah looked at her sensing a setup...

"Yes, and his face was never the same again." Holly pulled it off pretty well, but unfortunately for this situation, Jonah is just too darned smart. He wouldn't fall for it. He deemed it impossible for ones face to freeze and challenge her by telling her to call Grandma.

When Holly called she was amazed that Jonah saw through the ruse at the age of 6. All of her 4 children had fallen for that story hook, line and sinker. Not Jonah.

Hats off to the boy who could not be hoodwinked. In commemoration of this, a little Calvin is in order...



Thankfully Jonah hasn't taken in this far...
