Or so it seems to me...

BUT thanks for sharing. I love it!

I was too young to remember mine.
And I never did any for my own kids.

So...no. But the cartoon was funny :)

Presentation of the baby? My son, who expects to enter the Marine Corps OCS before very long, has texted me various pictures of my grandson, including the birth certificate, which was issued by "Presbyterian Valley Hospital."

Me: My grandson is a PRESBYTERIAN!!??
Son: The Baptism was beautiful
Me: Sprinkling, or total immersion?
Son: 10-foot drop into the jaccuzzi.
Me: OOooorah! That boy is headed for Force Recon!
Son: Yep, jump school and the drown tank, simultaneously.

Reminds me of all the 9lb "premature" babies. We had more than a few of those in our family ;)

I never blessed my kids in church. My Catholic wife would have been some pissed off I had suggested it. And they didn't get sprinkled on by a priest either BTW.
I disliked baby blessings almost as much as I hated the bearing of testimonies.

What I hated is that they just automatically expect the parents to bear their testimony. I didn't. Not my style.

Oh my, i’m Old enough to remember the cartoon! I have no problems with holding up the baby; but, I say no to the little boy baby in the white tux (yep, seen that, too). The Lifted up Boner.
