This has to be very recent. What a handsome young man. Wish I could post just the picture, but here's the link.

Emeraldcitygirl, you can post the picture by left-clicking on your mouse. A window will come up and the second prompt on the list should say 'copy image url'. Right click on that and then copy and paste into our OP.
He should be getting ready for college, looking forward to a bright future, having fun with his friends and family.

(4,310 posts)It was a mere comment describing a teenager all dressed up for prom.
I raised three sons and know how they were feeling the first time
they put on formal wear and went to prom. STFU.

(9,314 posts)I don't think the OP is unusual in using that description - I think we all do it. Someone shows a baby picture or a picture of any loved one and humans often respond with "how cute" "how pretty" "how handsome". The baby can be butt ugly and look like a plucked chicken but most people will still say "how cute".
