Ugly Baby can RUN & Make Sand Castles

Ugly Baby


I was born in a small town, Pelominie South Dakota. We didn't have much ... but I have some memories and this photo.
People called my "Lil Speedy", and I reckon that's where my legend started. I was out in the yard one day, and in the blink of an eye my mamma lost me. I was racing down County Road 7.
Police were called and the whole town went into panic mode. They found me sitting in a sand box making castles about 10 miles from where I started. Yes .... they said I must have been the fastest baby that ever lived. With that came fame and recognition, and that was good because daddy said I was not the cutest child he had ever seen. I know what your thinking - that bearded baby is kinda cute! Well, I was in my own Speedy way.

Chris said...

Lauren,

Speedy, maybe you should post a REAL baby pic for comparison. :) Then we can all oooh and awwww and, you know, not be scared. :)

Well, I can understand why you had a beard as a little baby. Because babies are Not Allowed to handle razor blades for shaving. I am surprised more babies do not have beards. Maybe they use safety razors.

That very well may be the creepiest baby ever, and you know I mean that in the best possible way.

I think I need a lobotomy after seeing this. I may never be the same again!

wendster said...

Instead of a rattle ... I'll bet you had your first razor, huh? You still got pretty big ... I mean big pretty eyes. That's cool.

Eric,

That's scary. Thanks for the nightmares. I think your need to take a break from Photoshop for a while.
