On Friday we took Colby to the optometrist's office to get him new glasses. The optometric technician started off with just the kind of compliment every mother wants to hear. She said, "Oh my goodness, your daughter is just precious! She is so adorable."
This lady's doing well so far, right?
She continued, "She reminds me of this little girl I use to see in day care. I never thought I'd see another little girl like that. Just a little Conan O'Brien, isn't she?"
I said, "Oh, thank you."
Hold on. Wait... WHAT did she just say? Did she really just say that my little baby girl looks like Conan? I wasn't offended, really. I immediately started chuckling inside. But I am dumbfounded at the things people think are appropriate to say to others. People are really interesting to me sometimes. Was she trying to give me a compliment? Two days later and I'm still completely perplexed. I was cracking up when I told Jared about it and I laugh every time I think about it. We can't help but call our little Avalyn, "Conan" now.
So what do you think? Can you see the striking resemblance?

Hilarious Melanie! It's gotta be the blue eyes and red hair similarities--she's BEAUTIFUL, not a Conan look-alike! hee hee
We love Conan...and I don't think Avalyn looks anything like him :-)! People are so weird sometimes!
I DON'T see it! People crack me up sometimes too when they say whatever is on their mind and don't think first. Thankfully she is wrong! :)
