Parental Pride

We brought our newborn son, Adam, to the pediatrician for his first check-up. As he finished, the doctor told us, "You have a cute baby." Smiling, I said, "I'll bet you say that to all new parents." "No," he replied. "just to those whose babies really are good-looking." "So what do you say to the others?" I asked. "He looks just like you." Matt Slot, Reader's Digest, February 2005, p. 214
