Babies!
This is my general mentality when it comes
to babies: I love them, and all kids in general, they say and do the most
ridiculous things and are always good for a cuddle or a laugh. BUT the thing I
love most about babies? After you’re done playing with them, teaching them
dirty words, and feeding them sugary treats... you can pass them back to their
parents and go home to your cat and poop-free apartment.
that's me on the far left ... yep. |
BUT what is awkward, is when someone has an
ugly baby. Now everyone can hate me for saying that a baby is ugly, but whether
you admit it or not, everyone has encountered one tragic looking baby. Now,
this isn’t to say that this child with be stricken with the ugly stick their
whole life. I’ve seen a lot of my friend’s baby photos, and some of them were
downright ugly, but they’ve grown up to be gorgeous individuals.
So when you meet your
friend/relative/coworkers little bundle of joy for the first time, and it looks
like an ape-human hybrid sent to earth to eat your soul, what do you do?
Obviously you have to be prepared for this type of situation, because you start
all “aaaawwwwww omg let me see herrrrr” and then you quickly recoil with a “
... oh, oh no” and that can never end well. I haven’t asked any of my friends
with babies yet, but I can imagine that someone wouldn’t take it very well if
they could tell that you thought their child was ugly.
me and daddy-o ... things started looking up! |
For the record, I’m not referencing any of
my friends’ babies... your baby is, of course, adorable.
