Consider the kid.
I have a number of friends from high school who have since reproduced. Facebook is fun for this sort of thing, you can compliment the cuteness of the child with no danger of actually having to hold or entertain said child. Oh sure I’ve met a few off spring. Emma’s baby was only 6 weeks [...]
