it isn't about a breed or an esthetic preference, it is painful because you are talking about someone's baby.

You may not think the boys are pretty, because you think the color is plain. But if you looked closely at the feathers you would see the colour is not smooth all over the feather, it is a pointillism (like the George Seurat paintings of impressionism), billions of tiny dots of color spread over the tiny fibers of the feathers. It is a perfection I have never seen before. I wonder if this is what began things like the school of mosaics that created all those works of art. (tiny dots of ceramic glued together to create immense paintings)

sometimes we do not see beauty because we don't look closely enough, that is how love allows us to see someone's beauty when other people see their surface and not appreciate them the way we do.

Don't worry I'm mainly just picking a fight with him over khaki campbells
But yes I do agree with you!

Some duck breeds arent so visually appealing to me, cough, hookbills, cough
but that said, all ducks are beautiful and there are none which I would turn away

i let out an audible gasp when I saw the image and my spouse said: What? what is wrong? (actually worried, I guess the sound was something!)

It deserved a gasp. It's a baby!

I told him the good news and he rolled his eyes and went back to what he was doing... huh!

"but it's an egg! and it is hatching!" (pout)

So unappreciated

most men freak out at poo... or they pretend to in order not to have to change diapers

This would never fly with me. They will take their fair share or else!

that sounds like a delightful child! I don't see a problem.

I was like her as a child, except with snails.

I'm still like that.... with toads.

We think alike! We can be friends
I love amphibians!
I found a dead tadpole as a child and cried
I'm going to get dart frogs someday I swear.

hmmm... fair share? so he does half the dishes, half the laundry, and you do half the car repairs, and the roof maintenance, and you pay half all the bills... sometimes one person gets more of one, the other gets more of the other... it can still be fair if this is your hobby and he has his own.

yeah... I see a crooked nosed baby in your future

AND YOU WILL LLLOOOOOOVE that baby!

I wouldn't call dirty nappies a hobby lol
But yeah! Pretty much! She can do half the laundry, the repairs, and I'd do the other half
Fair is fair!
But when it comes to the really yucky jobs that no one wants to do, I think sharing the specific job is fair!
