Timmy was mesmerized with the goldfish in the bowl on our counter. My 3-year-old birthday buddy stood there on his tip toes watching them intensely.

"Let me take your picture with the fish, Timmy," his mom said.

He turned toward the camara.

"Smile!"

Timmy started to smile... turned suddenly toward the fishbowl... peered inside for a moment.

"Turn around, I didn't take it yet."

He turned back around with a very serious look on his face and pointed his thumb at the fishbowl.

"He won't smile, Mom."
