Clay yourself...

     As many of you have noticed, I don't post pictures on this website that show the faces of my boys. I figure, there is plenty of time for them to control (or ruin) their own online profile. No need to empower Google images to spread their darling smiles in cyberspace - I'll just wait until they are teens and they can do it themselves with their cell phones.  (EK!)
    
    However...I did recently run across a silly website that allowed my sons to create their own cyberspace alter ego. Here are the results:
 
My nine year old...

My crazy nine year old...

    Now, while I can't argue with the first image: brown eyes, pale skin, loves green, often in a hat (to protect the beforementioned pale skin). However, the second image gives me pause and inspires silent prayers of:  "Please help me, Lord! Please."

And my seven year old...

Crazy version of this boy:

    Again, I can live with the unibrow, but I'm going to need help (serious help) if his teenage years resemble this creative image.

    Easy to use and good for a giggle, the website that generated these "clay " images is free and needs no registration,  no password, nor  a download. It gives countless choices and countless ways to make your mother nervous. Also, once you've made a character you can use a silly Mad-libs-type script generator to type in nouns, verbs, and adjectives to come up with a nonsensical story.

    I saw this site used by an elementary teacher who allowed students to each "clay" themselves and then add audio for a school video. Very clever. Very fun!
