Ugly Babies

Alf Veedersane · 17-09-2014 02:23PM

You hear people saying how the name just came to them when they saw the baby for the first time.

If that was the case there would be a lot more babies called Winston.

Or Churchill, I suppose.

It's always difficult to tell a parent their baby resembles a gremlin. So when I'm asked the usual nonsense - "Who do you think they look like?" I usually reply with - "Themself."

I don't know about that.

My mother tells my brother that he was so ugly when he was born, that when the placenta was delivered she thought it was twins.

Most babies are cute because they're ickle and have tiny fingers and toes. Some are horrors who look like mini geriatrics, but they tend to grow into themselves.

Seriously, all babies are ugly [AND THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME, aside from colour variation] compared to, say, kittens and puppies - only ones that say otherwise are the parents, and suck up friends too afraid to tell the truth

Babies are the ugliest things ever. I really don't understand people who think their lovely/cute.

Couple of months back I was standing beside a couple holding a baby and another couple were walking past and the woman stopped and said:

"Oh what a cute little baby. What's his name?" The other woman, with a look that would have Medusa to shame, says: "Amy".

I dont know why people would get offended. If they didnt change the baby themselves they wouldnt be able to tell either.

Child birth is a lot like maggots wriggling forth from rotting apples.

I was an ugly baby. 39 years later things have not improved.

Ugly babies? What about the hairy ones?!?!? :eek: It's like they couldn't be bothered.

There has been an inordinate amount of hairy babies born in my parish since a particularly amorous milkman started doing the rounds (so to speak).

You don't think the babies are copying his style do you ?

Ugly identical twins?

No just twice the ugly.

I would agree that most newborns look fairly similar, but I have seen a truly ugly baby. 15 months later and she has only got worse. I feel sorry for her parents, because they must know she is ugly and people are lying if they say anything different.

I often hear women sniggering ''oh its a ginger'' when they see a new baby that has red hair.Always reminds me of Dumbo when they mocked his big ears.So cruel.

That's so cruel! They're probably just jealous and dried up.

I know a mother who has a big, fat baby.
She's always feeding him - it's like an obsession.
He's got rolls of fat on his arms, legs, belly.

People always say stuff like 'Wow, he's very solid isn't he?'
She beams with pride.

But actually what they mean is 'Your child is already starting to look dangerously obese and you should probably stop constantly shovelling food down his gob.'

He's not ginger with a flat cap and an expensive gold watch is he?

Frankly I'll love my child in spite of anything.

Except if it's ginger, obviously.

^I hope my baby has red hair. It's an amazingly effective dickhead filter

Well that explains your failing grade in Leaving Cert Biology anyways.

Newborn babies all look exactly the same for the first couple of weeks.Anyone who says they look the spit of the father or whatever during this period is bull****ting.They all have the same wrinkly squashed up face.

That's totally true except for Steve Buscemi's kids.

F*cking spit of him so they were, right from the moment they came out.
