Episode

"Ugh ... I'm reminded of that Seinfeld episode," she said. "You know the one." "The ugly baby," he responded. "KRAMER," they said together (and one of the passing nurses laughed out loud). "Sorry," she said to the nurse self-consciously, "it's just that they come out looking blotchy and wrinkly like the elderly with their heads lopsided and everyone loses their GD minds with the cooing and the squealing. Blergh." The nurse doubled back and smiled at them both. "When we arrive, we're basically ejected into a bar fight," she said softly. "Grabbed, pulled, poked, prodded, lights, camera, action. Kind of understandable we'd be blotchy and lumpy. And we look old right out of the starting gate to give us some visuals - a promise that we really do grow into wisdom if given half a chance." "We are horrible human beings," the one groaned in response. "YOU'RE horrible, I'm just supportive," the other added with a grin. "Just so you don't feel too bad, I will say that genetics is a crapshoot," the nurse chuckled. "I've seen some combos that are ... well ... kind of unfortunate." The little persons under glass slept through their first critical review, unaware of current beauty standards, wrapped tightly and warm, tiny intestines working to post their first comment.
