The past few weeks have had an obvious theme in my life: babies.
With a cousin-in-law (is that what you call a sister of your bro-in-law who is called that because he with your sister? … ya know what, this gets confusing and it’s why us Black folks call airbody their cousin) giving birth, a dear friend announcing her pregnancy, finding the DOPE “Children With Swag” Tumblr, and this fool telling me THIS how my son gon’ look like, I can’t even escape the baby fever.
And I’m not even sure I wanna escape… hell, they cute. Very cute. Especially when I get to return them to their parents. Return to sender!!
*rereads some of that up there*
…
Um. Nawl, this ain’t an announcement that I’m having a mini-Cheeks. Ya’ll know dayum well if I was, it would be Hayseuss Himself. Sure, I’d love a kid in the future and name him Simba, and I’m not entirely sure when that’ll happen, but I do know one thing…
I would not, could not… will not send out a baby shower invitation that even slightly resembles this:
*Pic Props to Keisha Brown*
– O_o… COME. GET. YO. COUSIN.
– “About To Pop”, doe. And using a popcorn theme. TELL me that ain’t genius. And classy. -_-
– Ya know, this theme reminds me of a circus… which is SO very apropos.
– Ma’khi. There go that infamous errant apostrophe again. Please tell me… at what point in history did this become the go-to symbol for our people’s names? Does it make it fancier? Prettier? Do folks enjoy the pause it requires, making us spend more time on saying the name? It’s still Black History Month, so learn me somethin’, ya’ll.
Pinchers, how ya’ll like this theme? Is it a hot mess or did I inadvertently give you a baby shower idea? Both ideas are welcome here. I’m a fool, such a fool for you.
Love ya like the GOP loves to dictate a chick’s uterus,
Cheekie
LOL woooow well God Bless the child.
Wait a minute, I see they from Nawlins so I get it now.
LOL @ you get it now. It’s funny because it’s true.
wow.
*breaks the 4th wall*
Y’all know this set black folks back 40 years right? Cicely Tyson cries when sh*t like this happens.
I’m always a proponent of a broken 4th wall. And yeah, I can picture Madame Cicely crying right now…
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
i TOTALLY forgot about that coonery.
this continues to be why we can’t have nice things.
and while i like pregnant ladies bellies…um.. yeah.. this.. is all kind of no..
yeah, i too seem to be surrounded by the babies – friends, subway ads etc…when it rains it pours!!
(soon i’ll be surrounded by weddings). -___-
ps: if you name your son simba doe…i will expect an actual picture with you holding up.
pps: that lil boy is ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, you KNOW I will present my mini Cheeks to the world in a Circle of Life-esque manner. Rafiki will be there, too. The actual Rafiki. Hopefully he ain’t like real baboons… ol’ rabid selves…
That invite is just….listen, I know some people that created a baby shower invite that had a baby picture of the soon to be mommy saying “our baby is having a baby”. yeah.
I really don’t know whats so difficult about hitting up the Hallmark store and buying something pre printed. Trying to be different and unique gets you nothing but what we see above. For shame.
Any way…your “son” is mad adorable!! He probably bad as hell LOL. Oh and that tumblr is everything..I need to get my nephew on there, he has MAJOR swag
LOL @ “our baby is having a baby.” Lawd.
And I already know I’d have a little imp running around…
The worst part is that either she already had that ensemble in her closet or she got it specifically to match the invite.
And I wish I hadn’t noticed the popcorn box on the right side being mirrored. I wouldn’t have much of a problem with it if it didn’t have text on it. #GraphicDesign101
Yeah man, either way she ended up with that outfit is turribo. And that fact you noticed the mirroring… SO you. Ha!
Mike Tyson did not get in the ring for this type of foolery. The invite i s giving college days flyer for a Friday night club promotion. Yes, my people, we need to stop with apostrophes in the babies name.
“Mike Tyson did not get in the ring for this type of foolery.”
This cracked me up for a good 5 min.
And yeah, it does look like a plugger, right? That is 12 different kinds of wrong.
Things like this make me wanna claim my Scottish side..
why…. where….. WHAT!?!?!?
I just don’t understand.. The thing that makes it so bad is that she just KNEW she was doin it! And doin it well..
This is the most bootleg situation I’ve ever seen.. Then again, last baby shower I went to was for my brother.. so I don’t know what the trend is nowadays…
#LawdHaffMercy
Right, you see her posin’ like she is FULL of popcorn swag?! Chile…
*searched for a compliment* Her stomach is surprisingly tattoo-free.
How much you want to bet she bought that outfit from the maternity section at Rainbow?
LMFAO @ the searched compliment. Nice work. haha!
*I got nothin*
bwahahahaaaaa!!!!
