Nightmare fodder

Tis that time of year, when every website and blog has ideas on what you should spend your holiday gift money on. Gardening kit for mom (um, well no, since my mother tends to kill all plants) and a shaving kit for dad (nothing says I love you like a razor, right?) Today I came across this:

cut-arts-by-karl-custom-silhouettes.gif

It's a custom silhouette. You send in a photo and a few weeks later you get a hand cut silhouette.

So good idea, but can we just acknowledge the elephant in the room? That baby is terrifying! I know small unformed people have different features than adults but those cheeks! What has he got stored in there? Greenland?

And yet the silhouette is lovely. It's sort of Photoshopping, isn't it? Either way, I am scared. I'm sleeping with one eye open tonight and a box of Cheerios with which to distract the scary tyke should he find me (please don't let him!)
