Abandoned Baby

This is for my friend, Mrm, or Mirim the Mirim, a blogger friend with a fiendish eye for the sublime and the ridiculous. She hasn’t blogged for a while and I am concerned about her absence. I am hoping this photo, dedicated to her, will lure her back into the blogging world.

Actually, AdventureMan spotted the baby sitting on a garbage bin, but it was I who whipped the camera out and shot a photo.

Who would abandon this beautiful baby?

  3. Funny, I was just telling a fellow blogger that I would dumpster-dive only if I could find a cute baby with chubby cheeks. I simply adore your find.

    LOL, Purg! He does look a little like OJ.

  6. Are you sure he’s abandoned? It looks like Gary Coleman, the actor from “Diff’rent Strokes”… he’s probably just evading his income taxes again! LOL! šŸ˜€

  7. I can just imagine some poor child is really missing this baby, Lofter. 😦

  8. Oh… don’t be sad. Let me paint you a different picture. Imagine that some little girl got a brand new doll from her mother and father. She loved it so much! And, since she has a new baby, her old baby just sat there. Suppose that one day, she felt like taking her old baby out for a stroll with her mom. And while strolling, she and her mother talked about how much she used to like the old baby, but that she really loves the new baby so much more now. Then, across the way, she sees another little girl. Her clothes aren’t as nice, and she looks kind of sad. She thinks, “I bet this old baby would make that little girl happy, just like it did me when I first got it!” So, without a second thought, she looks across and catches the other girls glance… she smiles broadly, and with love, sets the old baby down and walks away. And her mother was so proud of her, because she shared of the things that made her happy. All the other little girl had to do was walk over and pick it up.

    Of course, about that time, two grown ups came whizzing by. They stopped to take photos of the old baby, and the little girl had to wait for them to move along before she go claim her new prize!

    See! Happy stuff! šŸ˜€

  15. Heee heee, Jewaira, too smooth and hard. QC loves soft stuffed toys that look a little bit like kittens.
