At your age, you become grandparents or you know grandparents as your peers. Thus, you've been shown photo after photo of your friends' grand kids. And, like me, you're tired of it. Ya can't just keep on saying you agree how cute the kid is because that just encourages 'em. You'll see 15 more next week and 20 more after the kid's 2nd birthday party. And forget about the Bar Mitzvah. Then, you've got two hours of video to look at.
What do ya do? The thing is to head it off at the pass. Stop it before it gets too far. So when grandma takes out the first photo, ya give it a quick astonished look and say,
"Will ya look at the fuckin' head on that kid. How're you ever gonna find a hat to fit that head?"
The problem will be solved
