I was talking about this sort of thing with a friend the other day. Two people had posted pics of new(ish) kids in their families and I was struggling to find something to say.
It was decided that well-fed wasn't quite right for the little boy though he certainly appeared to be. I saw not much else to comment on in a way I could spin into something positive.
If the other kid's eyes had been closer together I am pretty sure she would have been a cyclops. When I should have been thinking of a pleasant comment I, instead, was wondering if they can make glasses with lenses that close together.
Yep - going to hell in every faith.
I hate those pics...if you have a homely kid at least put them in a cute outfit so I can comment on that.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
