What to do if your friends have an ugly baby?

Welcome. Let me start by introducing myself. I am a married father of two girls,one who is a teenager with a drivers license. Despite my youthful appearance, I've now reached middle aged. Upon reaching this..... milestone, I came to the conclusion that I might have some sort of valuable wisdom that I could impart on the world. Now let me just say this is all done with toungue firmly planted in cheek. I don't know everything, far from it, but I do surprise myself every now and then with a little nugget of wisdom.
I decided to us this as a forum to share some of that sage advice. Here is the first gem folks.
What do I do if my friends have an ugly baby? Now I must admit 99.999 percent of all babies are downright beautiful or at least cute in some small way. Alas unfortunately there is that small portion that doesn't quite fit into either of those categories. For those of you that don't believe me, go to google, click on images, and type Flava Flav, and then recall that he once was a baby. I'll wait for you to do this and then come back to this page. Now that we are in unanimous agreement that there is such a thing as an ugly baby, lets dispense with the first piece of advice.
What do I do if my friends have an ugly baby? Well first of all we don't want to say anything harsh. After all these are friends and we care about them. The second option for most would be to just lie. Then there is the third option for those like myself who can't stand to lie in those sort of situations. I simply look at the baby and say, "Look at you!" Simple. No lies involved. No babies or parents insulted. I have taught my wife this "code". We have only had to ever use it twice. Believe me though, it was a lot smoother than looking at the baby and the parents and asking them, "@*##! What the hell happened"
Thank you for taking to time to read my first ever post. There will be more to come. Hopefully If I tick you off a little some days, I can make you laugh on most others. Remember,
I'm not saying I'm right, I'm just saying what's on my mind.
