Niece Alert, Part II

Here’s my new niece, Naomi, when she was about a day or so old, a few days ago:

Just ‘dorble.

There are times I miss having babies.

Especially when other people get to take care of the diapers and waking up.

  1. Now that IS one cute baby! (Many times they kinda…..aren’t!). She doesn’t even really look like a newborn.

  2. Colleen accused: “She doesn’t even really look like a newborn.”

    Oh yeah, like Mitch would photograph a fake baby in a sad, disturbing attempt to lie about some non-existent niece. Jesus you’re cynical, Colleen!

  3. Clown, the joyous celebration of the arrival of a child should be a snark-free time. I’m sure that many people were both misty-eyed and ecstatic when you were born, even though you have probably given them ample cause to second-guess their joy. Please be quiet and respectful as others congratulate Mitch on his absolutely beautiful little niece.

  4. Mitch – she is beautiful. I almost miss having babies around. Then I think about diaper changes and 2 am feedings and no sleep and all the myriad of baby worries and I come to my senses.

    Now if I can only survive a teen-aged son…

  5. I wish I’d known about teen-aged sons when I had my son.

    I have gathered that not all teen-aged sons are snot-nosed punks who regard the hand that feeds them as the only *real* food.

  6. Teen-age sons are ok. They’re rather angryclownish, in a way. You’re right about the diapers, Mitch. I’m glad those days are long gone.

  7. What a nightmare blessing it must be to have one of you right-wing nutjobs real americans and pillars of society as a dad. Angryclown should set up an escape fund for all your kids, who will no doubt rebel against your impotent and ignorant uptopian-yet-authoritarian impulses the minute they get a chance. Free ticket to someplace civilized, like San Francisco or Seattle, where they can beg for beer money see first-hand the wages of societal decay, and go on to make a real difference in this nation.  It’s too late for the children of the blue states, alas.

  8. Presuming you have kids, or will some day, did/will they call you Angry or just Clown? You want them to be your best friend.

  9. An unfortunate aspect of corresponding with thick-headed wingnuts is the frequent necessity of explaining the patently obvious: making friends is not exactly Angryclown’s No. 1 priority.
