So I made daddy smile and I took a picture and made this silly thing and he never let go of it, he was five months and this thing went with him everywhere we went.

I will continue to make the dolls as long as their little kids that miss their daddy or their mommy and as long as these guys are going overseas and doing what they're doing.

It's just great for the kids, you know when daddy's gone they still have something to hold and hang on to and sleep with and cuddle.

It isn't a silly smile or a smirk, but a sense of optimism that I was trying to convey with the expression.

So, he, uhm, all ac/ac, or a little ac/dc?" she asked, blushing, and Chase's grin about swallowed his face.

"He claims to be ac/dc," he said, watching her face light up completely.

Some people are like Slinkies - not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.
