These photos are funny to me, not because of what meets the eye, but because of what you don't know if you just look at them. In the photos, it would appear that Kate, who is gazing tranquilly into the camera, is snuggling with me in a picture-perfect moment of mommy-baby bonding. But if you look closely, you will see that her little arms are jammed into my body like ramrods in the first picture, and that is where the truth lies: The whole time our friend Bob was taking these pictures, she was trying to get away from me. The only time she wants me to hold her is when I'm trying to make dinner. Then she wraps her body around my ankles as if starved for attention. Ah, the contradictions of mothering a toddler.
Thanks for the picture, Bob and Judi!

Should I feel bad for catching the Family Guy reference?
