No really, I do shit like this all the time when I’m talking. Notice how normal Jason looks in the photo! …as if talking to someone who looks like her face is about to turn inside out is no big deal. Thanks to Philo for capturing this truly charming moment on film.
(PS: When I say I make faces like this all the time, I mean it.)

I think those of us who are animated conversationalists would be quite surprised to watch ourselves talk, much like that photo probably struck you as kind of bizarre. But to those talking with us, they just realize we are expressive people and think little of it. I not only make faces to emphasize points, I imitate people’s voices when I relay a dialogue I heard.

*lol* I can relate. If I didn’t have a face, I couldn’t tell a story (or dance!) It would be like tying my hands behind my back and asking me to type.
