Stop Making Me Think You Have Babies

by Patrick on July 3, 2009

Untitled-1You always learn new things from Facebook’s news feed as I have in the past. You learn when people are in new relationships, when they get married, maybe even when they have kids.

However sometimes Facebook at first glance can fool you as well.

When I see a profile of a friend holding a baby, first thing I’m wondering is: is that your baby? I know you’ve had this moment before and I’ve recently called out Liebchen for almost fooling me with her G-Chat avatar.

I mean if it’s a high school or college friend you haven’t talked to in forever it’s totally possible that a baby popped out since the last time you’ve talked to someone, right?

I don’t know what it is about women wanting to hold babies in their profile photos but it’s not good for people like me who could be left wondering if you got preggers ever since high school.

So do me a favor, don’t fake me out with photos of you with other babies, I got enough on my plate to worry about sending out more of these awesome e-cards.

UPDATE:

Saw this video on Facebook and it felt like it needed a home here as well.

    Oh Krissy, if you ever have babies on your avatar it’ll be so scandalous!

    if i ever have babies, i’ll be sure not to make my avatars ambiguous. i will also be sure to report myself immediately to the nearest research facility to figure out how the balls i just gave birth.

    I know! I totally agree! I hate when people do that and I don’t really understand why they have a photo of them holding their niece or nephew or friend’s kid or whatever as their main pic!

    Amanda: I saw two more Facebook friends with baby photos- it’s driving me insane!

    At my last job I hung up a picture of a child and told everyone it was my kid. I thought people might feel sorry for me when I came in to work all tired (hungover).

    It worked.

    Patrick, FYI-I had two babies. I named one Patrick and the other Pho. Hope you don’t mind.
