I wish you'd stop boring us with your lengthy diatribes about babies.

Children are fascinating. The way the learn and put things together in innovative ways. The most fascinating thing I saw was when my friend's son was 2 or 3. We had this game, where I would point to a surface and say, "What's that" he would look and then I would bash his head into it (usually a pillow) he would then do the same and attempt to smash my head into the surface. One day I pointed to a table and said, "What's that?" the gears ground away in his head and he made a novel association and began to cry.
It isn't the crying that was fascinating but the fact that he invented completely new knowledge right there based on two different types of experiences and applied them to a third unknown and derived what would happen. Fascinating.
As for liking children? Not really, they are way to messy.

I actually do agree with you on that point. I believe if we studied children more humanity would better understand what constitutes a "genius mind." If the common man learns the most he ever learns in life within the first four years then there's a lot to be said about that stage before reality sets in to mold them.

That could be considered child abuse. 
Once you lose your pride the rest is easy.
I would agree with you but then we both would be wrong.

Bug ugly perfectly describes a friend of my sons sprog, I made the mistake of actually saying it in her hearing, they don't visit when I'm in town anymore. And the kid is still as ugly as sin!

You can make a game of it. Without looking, just state a body part of the baby and say which parent they belong to. "He has his mother's eyes." People will look at the kid, then parent a few times and probably agree with you no matter what. Usually eyes work best. See how many times you can get them to agree with you without looking at the baby!
Having two of my own, I"ll say it takes about 2 years before they actually look like either parent!

They see several sun sets and sun rises in 24 hours . Does anyone know what day it is up there ? It might be a weekend ?
|
|
|
|
|
Well working on that same theory the weekend would only last a few hours, what fun would that be?
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.
|
|
|
|
|
There would be a weekend every few hours. Isn't that exciting?
|
|
|
|
|
You would also get a Monday every twenty minutes or so...
