Ugly babies

Let's talk for a minute about ugly ass babies. I am at the age where a lot of my friends are having kids. I have probably been to about 11 baby showers in the past year. The new parents send out birth announcements with their little ones picture. The sad reality is that newborn babies are just not cute. Most of them resemble shriveled up shrunken old men. Don't get me wrong, I love babies just as much as the next girl, but it blows my mind just how ugg to the mug these little bundles of joy can be.

The worst part is that a lot of the babies just get uglier and uglier, but their parents continue to take more and more pictures. I don't even like to look at the pics anymore b/c I just feel so bad. I feel like the biggest fake standing there saying "Awwww, what a cutie" when I'm really thinking "your baby has a serious case of the uglies". And it seems that the parents are just oblivious to the fact that their kid is just not cute. How does that happen? Love obviously blinds you.

No doubt I am probably destined to have an ugly ass baby. As much shit as I talk about other peoples kids, Karma will h ave fun with me. But when I do, I will keep his pictures to myself and not force other people to marvel at his "cuteness".
