My brother and his wife just had a baby. It's the ugliest baby I've ever seen. I should say it's cute, but I can't bring myself to. What do I say?

Answer: Ugly babies do pose a social problem. They are right up there with old people who fart. What do you say? Try creating a diversion. For instance, if you can sneak a lighter into the nursery with you and just as they are expecting you to be all ga-ga over their monster of an offspring, put the flame discreetly to the bassinet. Voila! Subject changed.

Oh geez- just watch your facial expression, as this can be a dead give-away.

I think I saw this in Sienfeld. You're supposed to say,

"What a remarkable baby you have!!"

or perhaps,

"Wow, what a baby, you must be so very proud!!" :D

…and be careful, I hear there have been shootings over this sort of thing.

And if you yourself ever want to have babies, I assure you my babies are really, really CUTE!!! :P
