Wow, lady. That sure is an ugly baby.

Just in case anyone out there is reading this, I want you to know right now that you will never see pictures of babies in this blog unless I'm making fun of ugly ones.

I sometimes choose to use the 'Next Blog' button to peruse the other blog offerings here. I've noticed that a lot of them are dedicated to families, and especially to children. I can see why people would do this; it's a convenient way to keep up with family from all over without clogging up their inboxes. Blood relations or not, no one appreciates 102 pictures all at once. Plus, you never know when some stranger might come by and comment on how cute your little snot factory is. And let's face it, who doesn't like compliments from strangers?

I wonder if people with ugly babies ever notice if/when people don't tell them their baby is cute. I wonder if they even realize thay have ugly babies. Do they know it deep down and deny it? Or is there some sort of invisible blinder that slips only onto the eyes of parents whenever they look at their little bundle of newly hatched flesh? I've heard of people being afraid they might end up with an ugly baby, but apparently none of those people ever realize their fears... or they don't seem to think they do.
