She had a baby who, bless him, was just funky looking. VERY large ears and extremely turned up nose, poor little bugger. Of course, I never pointed out this obvious fact to her, even when she made snide comments about the fact that I was expressing rather than actually feeding from the breast. I think I was quite restrained.rockmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11069747273698110082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9862855.post-19949171909232814542007-09-04T15:24:00.000+01:002007-09-04T15:24:00.000+01:00a pair of h's friends have a baby who was really e...a pair of h's friends have a baby who was really extraordinarily unattractive.

I know I mentally sort the kids at preschool by their distinguishing characteristics, not all of which are attractive. <BR/><BR/>But you want to be sure who you're talking to before you open your mouth-- a friend just might have another friend who knows the kid's parent. It's happened to me twice; once I said it ("you know, that little pale kid with the bald spots and continually runny nose?") and once my husband quoted me to someone when trying to explain which kid he was referring to. Ouch. I have learned my lesson.<BR/><BR/>By the way, my kids are huge for their ages and remind me of GFB in your description (but we live half a planet away). I may sometimes be guilty of thinking the inverse of you-- thinking of some kid as "that tiny little one who just sort of sits there," or "the one who's still eating baby food," or whatever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9862855.post-57553710466502020182007-09-04T14:29:00.000+01:002007-09-04T14:29:00.000+01:00I think that if you can refer to your own kid as "...I think that if you can refer to your own kid as "stupid mullet head" (and, btw, at least here, the mullet is making a comeback. Or, it's finally arriving. You pick) then you can perhaps call the other baby names. Just not to her face. Or the face of her parents. I don't think terming the kid "FB" is going to raise any alarms. You know, just make sure that "Stupid mullet head" doesn't catch wind of it (you know, eventually) and repeat it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
