People might gasp or say How rude! but I know, deep down you know what I'm talking about. We've all witnessed at least one ugly baby and there might be an ugly baby in your family (hopefully distant family). I tell you, there is rarely an in between-looking baby. It's either adorable or what happened in that gene pool or good lord let's hope you grow out of that little one.
I went to a ...well, some sort of shower (bridal, wedding etc.) and boom, there it was...the ugly baby. Do the parents realize also that their baby is funky looking? Probably not. 1)Because parents think their child is sent from heaven and 2) Everyone oohs and ahhs over it the same as a freaking cute baby.No wonder it gets blindsided when bullies at school pick on him.
Once an ugly baby is spotted the second thing to usually occur is the evaluation of the parents' features. Sometimes it's a quick..."We'll he didn't have much going for him anyways..." or "Hm maybe it was a recessive gene?"
Alas, my advice to you is not to say your true thoughts and of course lie. Let the bullies in the 5th grade get him.
I found out the hard way that saying aloud, "Johnny* kind of looks like a mean...potato" is the wrong thing to say.
*name changed to protect identity of ugly baby.
Ahahaha! I disagree with your math, though. I think the percentage is far higher than 2%. :)
