Todays guilty admission.

For weeks - I've been telling a girlfriend I haven't been getting the emails she's been sending with pictures of her new baby. Mostly because I don't want to lie to her and tell her I think he's cute, when I really think he looks like an alien.

It was hard enough when she told me his name was Orion. I mean really? Naming him after a whole constellation?

    AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!!
    That just makes me think of Men In Black. Wasn't the cat named Orion?

    Ugly babies are the worst. At least you don't have to lie to her face that he's cute.

    Sarge and I are of the opinion that most babies are pretty-maybe not ugly-but not cute. Even Piko was a weird red wrinkled sausage when she was born, and she's the cutest kid IN THE WORLD now.

    Just focus on something that is vauge. "Oh, look at all that hair!" "What a cute little nose!" "When do all those pimples go away?" Oh wait, not that last one.

  2. Oh yes, Piko de G also wanted me to ask you "Bunny Lady", if Bunnies like to swim.

    OMG - I think you are right. The thing is.. when I asked if she was going to call him rian for short - she specifically said no. O-RION. Shit - I hope she never runs across this blog.

    "At least you don't have to lie to her face that he's cute."

    Yeah - I will.. that is why I'm trying to get past the whole email thing first. That way I don't have to fake it so much later.

    ""When do all those pimples go away?" "

    Okay - that is really spooky. He does have those baby pimples/rash.

    "Oh yes, Piko de G also wanted me to ask you "Bunny Lady", if Bunnies like to swim."

    I don't think they like to swim, but they will if they have to. Crap, there was just a commercial showing a bunny swim in a plexi tank. Really kind of interesting. Who was that now....? I think it was some insurance company.

  4. One of my nieces looked exactly like the Brain from Pinky and the Brain. Fortunately, her parents saw the resemblence as well.

    One of my nephews looked just like a Ferengi. His parents were not amused when I pointed it out.

    I need to learn some baby tact.
