# Baby's have reflex that makes them pull a strange face...
...and hold their breath when you blow hard on their forehead. It lasts until they're nearly a year old*.

It's a great way to torment them ;)

*The reflex, not holding their breath. That would just be silly and dad's like me would be locked up for infanticide on a regular basis.

# Never thought of that.
Still, after a night on the ale I often end up with halitosis of the arse. The foul breath from that covers a room and it's never had that effect.

They sort of purse their lips and go a bit goggly-eyed.

# I wish someone
would make a web gallery dedicated to photos of amusing reactions caused by blowing on faces.

It would be fab.

# I'd get things started.
But my daughter's now three so it wouldn't work.

And she'd think I was a twat for trying.
