Cutidote

If the fat gives you cancer thing is pissing you off as much as it is me, try staring at my friends’ adorable babies in their first Halloween costumes as an antidote to the rage. A cutidote, if you will.

    If the fat gives you cancer thing is pissing you off as much as it is me

    I initially read that as “if fat gives you cancer as much as it does me.” Don’t worry, it does!

    Mean Whasian baby a) is ridonkulous and b) looks a lot like my sister at that age, which makes it a little clearer to me why everybody thinks my sister is part Asian. (Of course, part of why everybody thinks my sister is part Asian is that she told everyone in her high school that she was part Asian. Quarter Chinese, quarter Korean. But the point is that it was plausible.)

    (We’re Austrian Jew and Polish Jew. Hey, genetics is important but it isn’t everything.)

    A friend of mine dressed her baby up as a LOBSTER. I am dead from how cute the pics are.

    I just googled your sister, and damn, she DOES look like a grown-up Mean Whasian Baby! Somewhat more than she looks like you, in fact. :) Yay for genetics being weird as hell.

    Oh, and TR, OMG LOBSTER BABY!

    Somewhat more than she looks like you, in fact.

    The funny thing is, in certain ways we look exactly alike. Despite having completely different coloring and me being fat (and her being even skinnier right now than she probably was in whatever picture you found). And her looking Asian. (She’s also been confused for Latina and native Alaskan. But amusingly, she was told in Israel that she could never pass for a sabra.)

    Oh, I would totally buy that, even only having seen a couple pics (oh, and a video, a while back) of your sister. But the pic that comes up with the first Google hit on her name actually looks a lot like the MWB all grown up.

    Awww!!! The cuteness of those pics makes me want to regress my kids into little babies so I can cutify them.

    Not that they’re not cute now, but at least when they were babies I didn’t have to deal with the cheek!!

    Colio, you just reminded me this thread would not be complete without a link to your bro’s little nanner.

    And nuckingfutz, what are kids good for if you can’t dress them up in ridiculous costumes without getting any lip? (When I figure out the answer to that, I might have some.)

    Although I prefer cute puppies dressed in outfits, cute babies will do as a distraction, too.

    Totally too cute for words!

    Spins, if you want to check out some pets in costume, try here. There’s something very telling about that fact that only 1 cat appears in the 14 photos, and it looks pretty irritated. I can’t imagine any of mine standing still while being stuffed into a pumpkin costume!

    Aww! I’m eagerly waiting for my sister in law to post pictures of my niece in her kitty cat costume, I haven’t seen her in it yet but I’m sure she’s adorable.

    I made an “eep” kind of sound when I saw those pictures. Ridonkulously cute.

    Darn it, I better not show ‘Raffie Baby to my husband…he’ll want one, and I am permanently dedicated to not breeding. Other people’s babies are way awwww-some enough.

    I’m still getting over the (female) 2-year-old Yoda I saw last night. Cute she was
