A few weeks ago, my four-year-old came home from camp, complaining of a pain at the gum line of one of his bottom teeth.
When I asked him how it happened, he told me that another boy did it to him. Alarmed that maybe my kid had been punched in the face without anyone noticing, I probed a little more.
“He didn’t hit me. He didn’t mean it,” my son said. “He was just chubby cheeking me!”
If you also enjoy various forms of facial persecution, eBay has a box of four life-sized fiberglass heads available. A rod with bolts pulls appears to pull the the cheeks together and the eyes are sewn shut. And you can paint them whatever color your heart desires.
