I have been dying to share this photo of my great-nephew but I’ve had no excuse. Here it is anyway:

This Is Me:
I am a little fat. I like food; what can I say? I have dull hair: mousey. I don’t wear much make-up and have no need of a dressing table. If I look like a bag lady, I chose my own clothes. If I look nice, the Hub picked them for me. Despite all this, I am a little vain. This photograph is from 2003. I had to go back that far to find one of me that I liked. But I don’t really care: my husband still thinks I’m beautiful and if he doesn’t, he loves me enough to lie about it. I’m lucky. I have two boys. They never lie to me. Still, you can't have everything.
here’s what’s gone before…

This photo, while adorable, should carry a parental health warning: do not show to adolescent great-nephew!

The look on his face says: “I just know this is going to wind up on the internet!” Ha, Ha. Too cute.

Don’t worry about this getting out, by the time that it does, you can feign ignorance or you might have just forgotten and you won’t be feigning anything. I have two photos of my children exactly like your extremely adorable great nephew and they are proudly displayed out in the open. They don’t mind them. Your photo generates the sighs and the wistful smile that celebrates the possibility of a brand new life and how cute the little baby is, I love babies.

This come under the 1st unimpeachable rule of the propagation of baby pictures. To wit: You never, ever (did I mention never and ever?) need an excuse to show a picture of any grand/great offspring. I only learned this after becoming a grandparent.
He’s a looker.
