Beer hickey

This is our bud, Shan, who blushes everytime he drinks a sip or two of a beer. That is just too cute. His birthday was yesterday and I forgot to wish him HAPPY NUMBER 30! We love you, Shan. Can't wait for the wedding.

yeast allergy? Maybe he should have yogurt before drinking.

He looks like someone's been beating him. Is it you? IS IT YOU?

Even with that weak Utah beer?

I was excited when my first son began to crawl. Big mistake. Next came a brother. Two mobile little boys under the age of 3 is trouble. Can you say PB and J in the CD player?

He looks ready to cry!

Third? I'm never this close to the top.
Anyway! Poor guy. I do the same thing when I drink rum.

I was going to say the same thing, my Irish complection gets a little red when I drink too.

Awww poor guy! He looks so sad!

God told me to say that your daughter and her motor development are beautiful and perfect in every way, and I adore both of you (and Jon).
Is that OK? I mean, it's true.

Wow, he really gets that beard trimmed "just so", doesn't he?

No matter what alcohol I drink, the same thing happens to me....down to my chest and up to my forehead! But it doesn't stop me... :)
Maybe Shan and I were separated at birth because I also am turning 30 soon...like Friday. So I will be drinking and turning red for two days straight!
Thanks for a great web site!

I was wondering if you had kept the comments closed because of the assinine comments over the past couple of days, but am so releived you opened them up. I was seriously going through withdrawl. I was going to email you and then realized: the woman is probably getting hundreds of emails asking where the comment section went already!
Thank you for letting us in.
Oh, is there a photo? Oh yes! I feel sorry for Shan because he will never be able to sneak a drink EVER.

happy birthday to the blushing stan!

SHAN, JUST ADMIT YOU'RE MILDLY ALLERGIC TO BEER. IT'S OKAY. But what man would admit this? So we make up conditions like "beer hickeys" and "blushing."
*Scoff*

Dooce, what if you're an atheist?
By the way, I've come to terms with the fact that children develop in their own time
Personnaly I would love for my son to be crawling by now, but the more people are giving me a hard time that he isn't yet, the more I yell back at them: "it doesn't mean he'll NEVER learn"
Morons
Hey, I just realized: that is only one letter away from Mormons
Sorry, just a thought

I do the same thing when I drink.. I just handle alcohol so I tend to avoid it!
01.26.05 - 07:06 AM / 24jenny said:
man, how did it already get to the 20s?
i always associate "yeast" with the word "infection" and thinking about Shan and those two words makes me laugh. hah!

I tend to have selective hearing with God, because, frankly, he has selective prayer-answering.
Yes to the "Bigger boobs, please?"
No to the "But can I have them and still be skinny?"

Whoa. Interesting.
Happy birthday and happy upcoming wedding to Shan!

I hate the pee on the floor...or poop in the bathtub...
(sigh)

Sonia, i got the same prayer answered the very same way!

I was wondering why we could not comment. Is it funny that when I saw the title beer hickey, I so did not picture that. Not sure what was pictured in my twisted little mind, but it was not that. :)
