My mother’s good friend Betty brought her new baby to church for the first time. Mother rushed over to her friend, all prepared to gush over the little guy. Betty had him wrapped in a beautifully crocheted shawl. Flipping back the blanket, she revealed the homeliest, poor little guy Mother had seen in quiet a while Shocked, Mother stammered, trying to remember the compliment she’d had at the ready before seeing him. “Oh, oh! It’s a baby, isn’t it!”
This made me laugh out loud!

This seems to happen a lot. I was a hideous-looking newborn, very long, skinny, and red. I should ask my mother how people reacted when they saw me!

Probably said, “Oh how sweet!”

Lol. Mostly likely! I have a strong resemblance to my mother now, so when people tell me that, it’s difficult to know how to receive such a comment: “Thank you” or “How dare you?!”

This one is right up my Lutheranliar alley. When confronted with an ugly baby (which happens more than you’d imagine) I say ‘Oh! What an amazing baby!’ If I don’t lie the parent all that much I add ‘And he/she looks just like YOU!’

Excellent answer. I do that and then remind them, but that’s the chance you take when you have children!
