My Question of the Day: It’s been said that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” With that thought in mind, when you’re presented with pictures by a proud parent of his/her child, and the child doesn’t necessarily appeal to your sense of beauty, what do you say?

My 2 Cents: I try not to comment on looks, since looks are relative. I usually ask how old the child was when the picture was taken, or I comment on a particular feature that I find attractive. If all else fails, I may ask something like, “Who does the family say s/he looks like?” or “Aw, look at him/her. Children are such a blessing, aren’t they?”.

NEW! Don’t feel like typing? Driving and can’t type? No worries! Call 904-4MY-QOTD (904-469-7683) and leave your comment by voicemail! Yes, that’s right! You can now call in your comment to My Question of the Day. Your audio comment will be posted to the blog just like a written comment. Please refrain from profanity or hate-filled, derogatory talk. Such comments will not be included on the My Question of the Day blog. I reserve the right NOT to include your voicemail comment if it happens to be irrelevant to the subject at hand.
