I have had a beard or Van Dyke since 1970. Once when my two older daughters were 4 and 2 (19 years ago......shit, but time flies), I decided to shave it off and had them watch me. They were fascinated, sat like to little cherubs with their chins in their hands and their gorgeous little foreheads creased as they pondered what was happening. When I was done and wiped the last of the shave cream off my face, Cass (the oldest) sat up, raised her little eyebrows and said, "Dad, you got cheeks"

All the best,

Big Mick
