I am trying to be nice, but it's getting harder (rant)
My favorite niece had a little girl this past November. I've asked for pictures of her every month up to her first birthday to put together a special presentation for the occasion.

My niece has sent me hundreds of pictures. After the first 3 weeks of her life, not one of those pictures of that child shows her full face. Every one of them has this ugly green/blue/yellow clown mouth pacifier covering from below her nose to her chin. I don't have the faintest idea of what the child actually looks like.

I (not jokingly) asked one time about whether there were any pictures without the pacifier and it got tossed off as 'most of the time she has it in her mouth'. Ok, I know these things are a big help to some mothers but ALL THE DAMNED TIME? How's the kid ever going to learn to talk with that thing stuck in her face all the time? And I can't say anything about it...not my place.

she'll get the message. I can tell you one thing...one day that child is going to cream her mother for taking so many pictures of her with it. :)
