Names and situations have been changed to protect the innocent
I was visiting one of my friends from dental school this weekend and she inquired about Alex. She was not ready for my picture attack of snapshots on my phone, and I certainly was not ready for a rebuttal. Another phone was quickly pulled out with pictures to match mine (the nerve). Somehow the conversation amounted to: "No my son is cuter", "No my nephew is cuter!"
Since she was not the actual parent, I made sure to tell her how I really felt about her nephew. Jabs were thrown back and forth, that I am too ashamed to reveal, and there was no apparent winner announced. What to do? Call it a draw? I think not! An unassuming stranger was sighted and caught in the cross fire.
"Which baby is cuter? Baby One?....or Baby Two?" The lady was stunned and quickly tried to regain her thoughts. After much deliberation she gushed "they are both soooo precious." No winner.
Perhaps the stranger was trying to break is to us, that neither baby was cute. I came home to find this hilarious article on wiki. Maybe Precious equals snuggly?
