The World Today

Hey Nugget,

So you may be, based on your latest ultrasound, busy happily smashing your face into your mother's placenta. Or that could be very wrong anatomically. I'm no expert. But needless to say you had your face all smushed up against something in her belly and we couldn't see a perfect profile of your face like we hoped.

Is your nose going to be small or gigantic? Does it look like a button or a butt? Are those the only two options, I'm not an ultrasound specialist? I do know that you want to have two nostrils. Anything more than two or less than two and you're in the minority. Please don't be a minority.

As it turns out we're in the year 2016 and lots of people still can't figure out that we're all the same people. It's getting out of control and I find myself wishing that some of the adults out there acting a fool had the kind of raising your mother and I have planned for you. Full disclosure? You're going to be raised to be a kind, thoughtful human who understands that a different shade of skin or differing opinion about our complex world doesn't mean it's fightin' time. It actually may be "huggin' time" but let's not discuss the intricacies of attraction before you're born. I mean, I totally will, but you're barely the size of a banana so that can wait.

Let's boil it down to this:

Don't be a dick.
