When he was little, he would give me a Look.
The Look could melt my heart in an instant.
The Look would wonder, "Am I in trouble?"
Or the Look would happily say, "Yes!" in answer to my silent offer of food or a gift.
He had a Look of Absolute Joy.
And a Look of Abject Terror.
The Look began the day he was born. I remember the doctor commenting, "You can tell this one is really smart. Check out that Look he's giving you."
It's taken 15 years, and he's completely perfected the I-can-totally-pull-this-off-and-lucky-for-me-I'm-so-cute Look.
Now he's begun to work on "The Smoulder…."
Jonathan Darby is 15 today. LOOK OUT, WORLD!

Thanks, everyone, for your kind birthday wishes for Jonathan. We will be celebrating tonight (New Year’s Eve) with a MURDER.It seems that for the past 15 years, since that kid was born, there’s never been a dull moment around here. *sigh*
