Who does the baby look like? We have the perfect answer.

I know that what I am going to comment is not politically correct or socially accepted, but it is that It is already good to understand the similarities of babies. That if he has the eyes of the father (but he has not opened them yet!) And the mouth of the mother (although without teeth, of course), that if he has gone out to the maternal family (and that the father does not hear you) ...

Over time I learned to sneak off the question in question, "who does it look like?", Boasting diplomacy and sincerity, in that order: "It has something of both, although I am very bad for the like." In the end it is very good to apostille with an "In addition, they change so much ...".

It is better to say this than to point out that it really looks like a hamster baby, or that it reminds us of a frog, that it has a cone head or that it seems so “abstract” that we hope it grows fast to take human form.

With the words above, more diplomatic, we have not said anything, and probably we leave the proud parents happy. But the best thing is that we have not said anything that is not true. Because something of his parents has, at least the primitive cells that formed an embryo. We also sincerely affirm that we are bad at finding similarities, at least among babies and adults.

Because if you ask me about similarities between babies, there I will not have a problem. The best, if they are twins or twins: how they look like each other! Of course, the two have little hair, closed eyes, flat nose, are a little discolored, wear diapers, hat and cocks ...

Why do you think that in hospitals babies are identified with bracelets, or are they wearing a special hat ...? And that fear that babies are confused? It would be unfounded if they were so different from each other, and so similar to parents, don't you think? But we can peek into the “nests” of yesteryear and see all the little birds the same, if not for the names in the cribs…

When it is demonstrated (and popularly accepted) that babies under one year are more like the mother, the question in question will stop making so much sense, but in the meantime ...

Therefore, when I had my daughters, I tried to suppress that question about the baby's resemblance. Even so, do you think that I have not received opinions? From hospital visits to the present, there are those who point out that one of the kids looks more like me or her father, even there are the same people who say one thing a week and the opposite week. Wow, children change quickly, but not so much ...

However, I confess that when someone, without my asking, sees some of my daughters a little of me, something goes on in my little heart. Reason for more so, when they ask me who the baby looks like, answer illuminating the father and the mother equally: “he has something of both of them”, obviating that in reality what he has most is much of all newborns.
