What do we never talk about?

[Iowa Lizzy]

I was an ugly baby, and I've posted some horrible pictures of my ugly baby-ness, as well as a really scary ugly baby from a website that creates a photo of your future baby if you upload one of yourself and your SO. I think Smurfy created that particular thread in Newlyweds but I can no longer search so I can't find it to share it here.

Our baby looked like that guy with the uneven forehead from Star Trek. Sorry I can't be more specific, my father was a Trekkie so I only have peripheral knowledge of the show. All I can tell you is that his forehead was uneven, and our future baby is going to look like a very small, very angry version of uneven forehead dude from Star Trek. And my mother wonders why we're waiting to have children.

ETA: I share these horrible details with you all to illustrate that we have, in fact, already discussed ugly babies. Believe it or not.

OMG, I totally remember that! Oh, that was hilarious! I remember that baby was so dark and someone said something along the lines of "Haven has some splainin' to do...."

I have to ditto the hamster thing and having the same sex ones.

My two hamsters had a complete war one day.

I woke up to a blood infested cage, and one hamster with both eyeballs hanging out of each socket. Imagine that..

Yuck. Although, the both eyeballs hanging out of each socket thing is impressive.

I just did imagine that. And now I can't unimagine that. That visual will be haunting my dreams tonight. I hope you weren't a small child when that happened!!

Yes! I think Elle was the one who said that. Ha!

Ooooh....I was a small kid. Around 10 or 11. Travesty at that age for sure. Plus it didn't help that my cat got in the mix and stomped on the one with the eyeball problem and broke the hamsters leg too. Ugh. I shouldn't have brought this up...now I'm gonna think about it for a while.

When me and my son were buying our first pet (a hamster) we were told about hamsters' fertility and also advised against buying two male hamsters. "Have you ever heard the word "decapitation"?", was the seller's question. So we bought one. Pretty lucky we were, as I can see from the above post.

We never really talk about DF. We just let him ask all the questions and never make him answer them.

the hamster thing is pretty morbid.

I've never seen discussions on killer whales
Shark week ?
the invention of smilies
how tea is grown and made
the invention of snickerdoodles
the invention of the word snickerdoodle
competition for the biggest kitty hairball
why dogs like human food even though their taste is completely different
galapagos tortoises
the growing of blackberries
pygmies
squid ink
sponge bob

Now we need a thread titled " Things you'd like to know but that are never talked about" for most of my topics above.
