The Photograph

In response to the Sunday Scribbles on Thursday, April 03, 2008

One of the non-regular games I enjoy is to guess how an adult looked when (s)he was a kid. Few years back, we had fun playing it at my friend's baby shower. The baby photos were passed with a number tagged to them. Each one of us had to write down in a piece of paper the photo number and the person's name. We laughed hard hearing all the wrong guesses. The one to take the cake was the photograph my friend's husband guessed to be of my friend in her babyhood. The guess was obviously wrong and the most interesting part was the photo belonged to a boy!

That was funny. Baby pictures are like seeds- basically they all look the same, but each grow into something different.

It's true that most babies look very similar, but there's an occasional exception. One of my 12 grandchildren falls into the latter category, probably because of the fierce concentration he has always displayed to master the next step - even when its just focusing his eyes in his first few days of life.

That is a cute and funny story. Why do you suppose we dress girls in pink and boys in blue? It's obviously to avoid just such mix-ups.

In the UK they used to say all babies look like Winston Churchill.

DailyPanic: You have said it so wonderfully.

Granny Smith: You must have a gala time with 12 grand kids. Now I do understand the pink/blue thing...

AnthonyNorth: Interesting. Maybe they want all their babies to be one too :)

Paisley: Please do.It sure is fun.

isn't the gender ambiguity of children sometimes quite liberating?!

Funny! It's sure hard to tell who's who from baby pictures. Sounds like a great game!

I know someone who was a hideously ugly baby. Unfortunately he didn't improve with age!

LOL - that's funny. I can tell all my kids apart aside from the backgrounds and clothes - there's just something different in their eyes... fun post!
