Today, while out walking with my son in a stroller, a couple passed by and the girl smiled sweetly at him. It made me really happy, until we'd passed and I heard her say, "What? You're supposed to smile at babies, even if they look weird." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Today, I was walking through the store when I saw a little boy point to me and say something to his mom. I was out of earshot at the time, but I got close enough just in time to hear the mom reply, "God says we have to love everyone, even if they're ugly." FML
Today while at my job as a store clerk, I walked by a family. I smiled at their little boy, who responded by flipping me off. As I was walking away, I looked back in time to catch his dad give him a high-five. FML
Today, as I was just finishing my grocery shopping, a little girl and her mother walked past. Seeing the little girl staring at me, I waved. The girl then pointed to me and asked her mother "Mommy, is that man pregnant?" FML
Today, I waved at a baby while standing in line in a store. It started screaming. Its mom looked over in mild concern and gave me a disturbed glare before moving to the next checkout counter over. FML
Today, I was volunteering at a school, as I walked past the swings these two girls smiled and said "wow, you are so pretty!". I smiled back and said "awww, well thank you!." As I walked past I hear them laughing, "she actually believed us." FML
Scary!
Today, I was at a restaurant when I made eye contact with a baby across the room. It smiled at me, so I smiled back. The baby immediately started screaming. Everyone stared at me like I'd just threatened it. FML
External validation
Today, I was grocery shopping, feeling good about myself, until when I was waiting in line at the checkout, a small kid in his mother's arms in front turned to look straight at me and said, "Ewwwww." FML
Confused
Today, I was out shopping with my mom. While we were walking, a guy in a car honked at me. I'm not used to compliments, so I was pretty flattered and flashed him a smile. He looked back at me, confused, then shook his head and pointed at my mom. FML
Today, I went to the mall. A little girl was walking around and telling everyone that they were pretty. When she got to me, she gave me a disgusted look and walked away. FML
Mistaken identity
Today, I was out walking my dog, when a lady called out to me asking, “Is that a boy or a girl?” Assuming she meant the dog, I told her that he was a boy. When I turned away, I heard her say to her kid, “I was talking about the person walking the dog, but whatever,” then audibly laughing. FML

Don't take it to heart, most newborn babies look like potatoes to most people anyway.

From that pic - I would have to concur. In my selfie I am not wearing makeup so please reserve judgement for now. Want to go out on a date? Sushi, my treat ;)

The fact that you look like a midget Squidward and having the texture of a banana slug really turns me on. It's a done deal! ;)

Ah well humans share 50% of their dna with bananas and I am half human and half sea cucumber, which looks like a slug, so I thank you. Also sea cucumbers and penguins live in or by the sea, and dogs are a man's best friend so we are a great match. :D Slick you up next Tuesday! Squelch.

Everybody's baby is the most precious thing to them, but not everybody likes other's children with the same regard. Don't think on it too much OP

No worries, babies can sometimes look a little alien-ish depending on age but when their features get more enhanced, they're usually the cutest little munchkins!

I bet your baby's beautiful. Or at least it will be. It just takes some kids a little longer :))

I bet your child is beautiful. Some people are just assholes who dont know how to be considerate. Besides, they probably looked like shit dipped in vomit anyways.

Don't take it to heart. All newborn babies look like fleshy lumps.

She may have meant babies in general look weird but you are meant to smile anyway?
