Why?

I bet a lot of people are going to hate me for saying this......

have you ever seen an attractive newborn?  It's funny how we all lie and say, oh my goodness what a cute baby!  When we are really thinking, awh, what a little rat, or little alien.....or whatever you think of when you see a scronny, wrinkly newborn.

Here's what I think.  We say they are cute because the idea of a new baby is attractive to us, and what they will eventually look like appeals to us.  And us poor deluded parents who look at our wrinkly babies and think they are the most beautiful thing on the planet, soon realize just how oblivious we were when we compare pictures of them from months later.

So it's ok, keep lying and saying newborns are cute, because it makes the parents beam with pride and happiness.  They'll figure it out later, haha.

And hey, I still think Tristan was cute when he was first born, even though he did look like a little alien, but! he is definitely waaaaaaaaaaaay cuter now!  Babies need chub and smiles, that's the best.
