OK, OK, OK, OK,OK! I have heard it enough and now I am going to question it. How many people see a baby and then tell the parents that their baby is cute and really do not mean it? Now my mother always told me if I did not have anything nice to say then not to say anything at all. So when I see a baby and I know full well they are ugly I do not open my mouth.
Now I am not going to sit here and say that my princess is not cute. What I am going to say is that some folk just have those words fixed in their mouths and really have no care in the world about how C.J. looks. To those people I say, just learn to be quiet sometimes. In the doctor's office, in the mall, on Facebook everyone says, "Aw, she is so cute!" How about another word to describe her? Try that for a change.
The next thing I want to address is, why do people feel the need to share all of their baby experiences with us? How about C.J. is an individual and her baby experience does not need to reflect that of yours? Who says yours was right? What is your resume? How many kids do you have? The ones that get me the most are those who do not have a child in the world but have all the knowledge about them. How?
I am not saying that I will not listen but you have to have some war scars before I would even consider taking your theories and practices under consideration. Hint, just let me ask you when I feel like asking your thoughts before you volunteer. If I listened to everything I heard, oh my God, C.J. would have 3 eyes, no hair and would never talk.
So now I have given you my thoughts, if you can not use another word for cute do not say anything. If you really do not mean it, do not say anything. C.J.'s daddy knows she is cute and will tell her that all the time so save your rehearsed phrase for someone who needs it.
Now please take this in the fun that it was meant, readers. This all stems from a visit to the doctor's office where the receptionist said C.J. was cute and the way we had her wrapped up could not even tell that there was a baby with us. LOL! So as I go, remember to always pray because prayer changes things!
