Ugly Babies - Page 2

I thought about posting the link, but I figured it might be kind of cruel to do it publicly.

Of course, that doesn't mean that I won't post it in PM.

This is what I do, too! Usually the parent takes it as a compliment, when I mean it the complete opposite way of course. It works out quite nicely

I'm a postpartum nurse, and I'll be the first one to tell you that many newborns look like monkeys.

I have perfected the straight-faced "Oh, what a cute baby he is!"; along with "That's a beautiful name!" (I don't know what some people are thinking when they name their kids).

As a mom of two, I think all newborns are ugly. My son's baby picture was so hideous that I didn't even send out baby announcements. Luckily, both my kids were much cuter by the 3 month picture!

Their teeny tiny fingers and toes, especially fingernails are amazing though!

"Oh, that's a baby all right!"

I usually just say," Hey the baby looks nothing like you, you are so much taller and have more hair."

Cause, i hate it when people are like, "omg he/she/it looks just like you (the un-DNA-tested parent) . . . please.

I guess it goes with the whole get your eyes examined theme in this thread.

That reminds me of a friend of mine, Judy who could compliment a hemmorhoid.

The girl with broad shoulders gets complimented with, "I bet she's really strong and works out!"

The guy with the bad haircut gets, "I bet its so easy to take care of!"

The girl with the potty mouth gets, "She can certainly communicate how shes feeling!"

In the tradition of our old friend KABillyMac, I nominate the above for quote of the week.

Show us the jughead baby!

I think that most babies are really cute. If they aren't beautiful, they do really cute things like make funny faces or stick their toes in their mouths.

My bf and I saw two babies a few weeks ago. One was really pretty, and the other was just ok looking. He said that he felt bad for the parents since their baby was so ugly compared to the pretty girl. He's really mean, but funny.

I'm gonna have to second that nomination!

See, I didn't know all newborns were ugly. I've never been close enough to one that was just "pooped out" to know. So maybe that's what is wrong with this kid.

But for starters? The kid only has one eyebrow and he looks like a Monchichi gone wrong. It has to get better, because it can't get worse!

ETA: My instructor's kid could give the kids on this page a run for their money.

BWAHAHAH!

I need to learn this skill. I'm a steel magnolia with too much "steel" and not enough "magnolia".

Whoa! Follow the link, then look at the picture that's the last on the right in the top row. That baby looks like he's melting or something. Or else like a really old melty man dressed up in a romper.
