My Child Can Be A Model And Other Things Parents Say
As my in-laws are still visiting us, I’m constantly looking for things to do to entertain them. My mother-in-law was reading the paper when she learned that the Fourth of July events downtown was including a cute baby contest. My father-in-law nodded his head.
“She’d win hands down,” he said.
I know that too but what if I entered her into the contest and she would lose? I didn’t want to be disappointed. After all, doesn’t every parent think their baby is the most beautiful and cutest in the world?
When we went to the parade today I was grateful not to know where or how to enter our 9-month-old daughter into the cutest baby contest. I didn’t want to be pressured. Ha! Some stage mom I am!
I do think my baby should be doing baby Gap ads. I would only let Wilhelmina Models see her though. Actually just last month I saw a posting by the agency looking for kids to show up at an open casting call. It was in Manhattan, where I used to live. As currently we’re not in New York, it’s not going to happen. Maybe one day a Wilhelmina model scout will come to my town and pick out my baby to be a cool fashion child model! It happened to my sister when she was in school. She ended up modeling for Sears catalogs. Anyway a tip for moms who want to put their babies in a diapers commercial. Never pay an agency who wants to represent your child. They’re just scamming you!
I remember a friend telling me she didn’t think all babies were cute. Well, I won’t go there. Let’s just say, every parent thinks their kid is spectacular looking.
