According to Canadian researchers parents take better care of pretty children than they do ugly ones.
I disagree. When my first was born, he was ugly. After a violent pitocin enhanced labor, he was born looking like he had gone a few rounds in the ring with Ali, his nose took up half his face. It was so swollen his eyes seemed tiny. He was long and skinny, and looked like a chicken. In addition to that his skin was pink, wrinkly, covered in infant acne, and he had werewolf hair side burns with a strip down his back too. I took one look at him and thought, “Wow, what a fat nose, wonder where that came from, and boy did I get an ugly one.” Then I proceeded to love and take care of him. When my sister was cooing to him a couple of days later I realized she was saying “What a beautiful baby, who is this beautiful baby, etc...” and I told her that she didn’t have to pretend, I loved him to pieces any ways.
P.S. Within a few weeks the nose swelling faded away as did the acne, the werewolf hair fell out, and he did become the cutest baby.
to the aunt who loved him even with the fat crooked (in case you forgot about that) nose and hair he was the "cutest baby"
