Part Falcon

I am convinced that William is not fully human. The only explanation for the razor-sharp fingernails talons that grow on his hands is that he is part falcon. Because no matter how often I trim them or what "strategy" I use to trim them, they always grow back in as weapons of mass destruction. And since one of his favorite past-times is playing with faces and the insides of mouths/noses, anything with even the tiniest amount of sharpness is unacceptable. I seriously wish I could hire out someone to take care of his nails--do they do manicures for infants?

Now, I'm not usually one to point the finger of blame, but I'm pretty sure the falcon traits do not come from my side of the family. I've researched my lineage fairly extensively, and there are no traces of any birds of prey. But Darrell, on the other hand... Well, he has lots of family that hail from the Atlanta, GA area (he himself was born there!), and it also happens to be the home of the Atlanta Falcons. Coincidence? I think not.
