Baby Olympics
There has been a recent flurry of interest among the readership in placing their babies inside of various containers and photographing them. Apparently, people are not content to let Alden and Garcia duke it out alone. There is, in fact, a great deal of competition.
Our friends Cathy and Neil, whose child Emily is little more than a month old, decided to enter the soup tureen category.
Apparently, Cathy and Neil then looked around their house for other things to put wee Emily inside of and settled upon this plastic bin before noticing the label.
Apparently it is not safe to put a baby in a plastic tote. I'm not sure if I believe it.
Here is Alden's new boyfriend Cannon. His parents took a more liberal approach to defining "container" for the purposes of this contest.
It is hard to deny that Cannon is "contained" by the walls of his baby prison.
Our friend Brian didn't really understand the way this competition works, I think, as only a tiny part of his child Leo is "contained" by the object with which he appears.
Nevertheless, the photo, titled "sausage making", wins major style points in my book.
Here is the latest contribution from Gina, a photo of Garcia in a guitar case.
I will respond to Gina's feeble attempt by quoting Paul Hogan in his great film Crocodile Dundee, "That's not a photo of a baby in a guitar case. That's a photo of a baby in a guitar case."
Frankly, Gina, I had expected stiffer competition.
