The Old Folks Home

[ChickenCanoe]

... "They got ALL their good looks from their Daddy!" Then I grin and quietly add, "I've still got mine."...

Love that one. I'm stealing it.
I used to tell everyone that commented on my daughter's dancing that I taught her all her moves. She just rolls her eyes.

Exactly! Which means we wanted to pay lots less for the property. The owners of the house disagreed. They said the black mold hadn't bothered them, they had a giant party and the house had NOT fallen off the foundation, AND no fires had been started by the wiring, so

the house was clearly perfect.

AK has to be a tough place to build and maintain property.

Ron, pizza sounds like a wonderful idea. Now you got me questioning my decision of pasta, but I think I'll stick to it.

Cyn, puppies are looking good and adorable. I forget, was there cockerspaniel in the mix?

dsqard, I forgot to congratulate you on the offsprings offspring. Those 3D ultrasounds give an amazing picture. I've only played with the regular ones, I can't understand how Karin can make out details and actually say something about the stuff that shows up on the screen. It's an artform.

Alaskan, if they've lived there for a long time, I bet they were having some persistent coughs, and I see some nasty tumors in their future. Moldy houses are nothing to take lightly.

This is again one of those idiotic things that I shouldn't say, but I'm going to anyway. What are you supposed say about those really ugly babies when someone shows a picture of their spawn? Because not all babies are cute. (Subhanalah, now I'm judging younglings by their looks too

) Also, please note that I'm an idiot and haven't bred myself yet.

I agree, one of the sweetest bantams too..and mine made a great mama.

Wow! She is super pretty, and looks very close to standard. Just a perfect girl!

Quote: I hope my future children don't take their moves from me. I'm probably the clumsiest danced in the world. I would be perfect for one of those "white people can't dance" videos. And it's not a lack of rhythm, I'm fine on instruments, I just lack the core control.

You still say they are beautiful or you say nothing at all just like Thumper said in the movie.
Maybe not such a bad thing you haven't bred yet?

"Oh what a wonderful child" or "oh how sweet" or even "My, how old is he/she now?"

Point being....think of something else to focus on.

Does anyone remember the ugly baby episode of Seinfeld?

Kramer does a 3 Stoogesesque shudder when shown the baby.

"That's a cute sweater."

dsqard, I'm going to have the most beautiful children, and they'll be super smart too. Probably the best children in the history of children on this planet. I'm sure of this. Even their diapers (that will only need to be changed once a week, until they're potty trained at 2 months) won't smell bad.

One thing I promise not to do once I get children, is to share their bowel movements on facebook. That's just wrong.

while focusing elsewhere

actually, pretty or ugly, babies are a little weird looking
no resemblance to larger humans

Breastfed babies feces isn't nearly as offensive.

And, of course, your children will be way above average.
