Sometime in July of 2011, The Wife and I were enjoying a beer at Crow Bar on North Mississippi. We were sitting near the windows overlooking the sidewalk, when a woman pushing a stroller stopped in front of us. She held a cell phone in her free hand and spoke very loudly into it, in that special way which lets everyone within earshot know she’s kind of a big deal. The baby contained inside the stroller was equally hideous; waving its sticky little meat hooks in the air like a boiled lobster. My wife stared at the baby for a moment, looked up at its mother, then turned to me…
THE WIFE: “Her child looks just like her, which is not a present.”

Your wife is right, some apples don’t fall off far away from the stem. Depending on how you want to look at it. :)
BTW the baby looks cute.

That baby is cute in the way that a hairless Chihuahua puppy is cute, which is to say in no way at all. Even the stuffed elephant had to look away.

Oh, God! I just might need stitches after this blog (which I seem to be perusing from cover to cover!), and I admire Vicki’s sense of humour, especially after reading her comment above. I thought I’d lose my teeth laughing after seeing your apology in response to one comment, then I saw Vicki’s comment. Now I’m not sure I’d notice if my teeth fell out, anyway, ’cause am too cracked up!
