No Beard

I shaved my beard off again last weekend. Knowing it would probably freak Ella out, I had her in the room and tried to show her what I was doing. She wasn’t too interested until the beard was gone, then she was deeply suspicous. The rest of the day she scowelled at me and seemed generally displeased.

When I gave her a bath that night, she sat in the corner of the tub a safe distance away, furrowing her brow at me in disapproval. I asked her what was wrong so she took her hand and moved it from one ear to the other along her jaw line. Not quite ASL, but I got the point. She should be consulted ahead of time in the future.

She’s probably right, too. Shaving is lame, especially without shaving cream. And we only need one baby-face in the house.

edit:
Alan sent me a link to a recent discussion on metafilter. Aparently the word describing the change is “shavenfreud.”
