In Case You Were Wondering Why Me & Mr. T Won't Be Having Children

When Mack and I were dating we did one of those photo booth things where it takes your faces and smooshes them into a kid. I accidentally made the kid pale white with blonde hair -- just like neither of his parents -- and then quickly gave up on the prospect that we would make beautiful children. Oh, our kids would be strong and smart and bossy and funny, but beautiful, it's not looking good.

Not that either of us are ugly people. Mack has been publicly called out as being the hottest straight guy in the gay bar, and as long as I look over my glasses and remember to cock my head at a slight angle, I can be pretty photogenic. But when our genetics collide, holy moly.

When I found this new Baby Mama Baby Maker thing in honor of Tina Fey's new movie (where she hires Amy Poehler to be a surrogate), I thought I'd give us another shot. I uploaded our wedding photos, waited the appropriate load time, circled the correct features, and crossed my fingers.
And then I decided we're enough of a family without having a little troll running around.

That is not pretty.
I went through my "amber" box tonight and I could blog for days. Is there anyway for me to blog on your site? My friends just wouldn't get it.

Why is the kid's nose shaded? Is he going to have 2 different colors of skin? Rocky scares me. But, I think you two would have really cute kids!!

Lisa said...

Oh whatever. You two would have adorable kids.

This is almost as disturbing as that damned shower photo. I'm still having nightmares about that one. Thanks!
