In my experience, babies can really go either way with folks like Grace…they melt their heart and turn them into a universal baby-hugger, or they confirm the initial belief in their smelly, noisy bothersome-ness. I am a baby hugger, but many of my friends… Aren’t. or werent until the right One came along.
Leo… Nay, Grace will be a 2nd cousin… B.B. is Grace’s cousin. It is the only family member we know of… so far. And yes… it’s better for Baby B.B. that Grace is FAR from her crib.
Judy… were you thinking of anyone in particular-like?
Fun Mike… See my response to Leo… Fun cousin? Nope. No popsicles and cookies at Grace’s place. Maybe Zombie dolls and skulls though.
Heh… some kids would be cool with the zombie dolls and skulls. My daughter brought my granddaughter by before Halloween to visit with us. We had a plastic rat and skull sitting out as part of our decorations and my 9 month old granddaughter simply loved them. She kept alternating between chewing on them and trying to get the rat to “move” by holding it by it’s tail and sort of skipping it across the floor.
She seemed to think the plastic skull was pretty fun too, kept rolling it around on the floor or trying to chew on it’s chin. They kept her entertained for quite a while.
So Grace is going to be an Aunt?
Lucky for the Baby that she lives so far away!
(On the other hand, maybe this will ‘mellow’ her a bit . . . – Nah!)

Gosh! That third panel just about says it all! Anyone picturing Grace being the “fun” Aunt?

Judy,
“Silas Marner”.
Grammy… zombies, skulls and plastic rats… OH my!
Beetles… I had to look that up. Thank you Wikipedia! Sounds like a charming and heartwarming piece of literature.
Let’s hope the baby lucks out and “skips a generation” on a few of her parents’ traits, huh?
Pete… Organic Meat Guy ain’t so bad… But B.B. is a tad on the overtly TOO hippy side.
1) everyone knows babys are a dinner food.
2) i just saw a familiar looking orange cat stroll past my house. could twink have found his way to michigan?
anatman… that’s why there’s “baby food”… it’s not food FOR babies… it’s food OF babies….
He may have had himself a “hitching a ride” situation.
First cousin once removed. A pair of cousins have kids, those are second cousins. The ‘removed’ thing refers to generation differences.
