(Before you get the "all babies are beautiful" propaganda out of your mouth, let me say that this probably isn't the right thread for you!
)
So one of my instructors had a baby a few days ago and posted pictures on the web so that the class could see them.
I'm in a largely female professional school, so when my classmates saw the photo, the women went crazy going "Ohhh!! What a cute baby! He's just PRECIOUS!" and all that kind of stuff like that there. Meanwhile, I exchanged looks with one of the only men in the class - who incidentally is a good friend of mine - and we both agreed that it was one of the ugliest, jugheadiest babies we'd ever seen.
I don't have much maternal instinct, I'll admit that straight away, but I'm curious: what do you do when someone shows you a picture of their baby and you know they're fishing for an obligatory "Oh, isn't little Vlad Dracul the cutest!" from you? Do you tell them it's cute, say something else, or make like you're busy so that they don't come over to your desk?
