Good Looking kids

Bill observes that I may have blundered when I said Lainie had the prettiest face and hair of any of my girls.  Lainie was quick to point out to Bill that I said “girls” and of course, we all know that Bill has the prettiest face and hair of all!!  Let me see if I can ease out of this. 

Somehow, I was blessed with nine absolutely beautiful and adorable babies.  I have the photographs to prove it.   By the time all of you reached your twenties and thirties, you were good-looking.  Bill did have really good hair, and a cute face.

Bill, I meant to tell you before I left that you are VERY good-looking now.  You look different somehow.  Your teeth?  Your hair is just beautiful.  You have glided very gracefully into your fifties.  You do, in fact, look better than I have ever seen you since you were a little boy.

Buddy, naturally, had an attribute that he and he alone was given.  The Lord knew I would be nuts over dimples, and so He gave Buddy one from his Uncle Alex, and one from his Uncle Buddy, inasmuch as they only had one each.  Buddy had a perfect physique.  Not just from dancing, but naturally.  He reminded me so much of my Uncle Frank.  In fact, I have a photograph of my Uncle Frank just before he went overseas in WWII, and Buddy favors him very much. 

Lainie has always had the pretty hair and face. She was so very beautiful as a young woman. 

Beth has the gorgeous figure and pretty legs.  She also has very beautiful eyes.

Brenda was the prettiest little teenager I ever laid my eyes on.  I could hardly believe she was mine, except I knew that she was Peurto Rican through and through.  She has the prettiest olive skin, and lovely dark hair.

Tony was such a perfect-looking baby.  just the cutest little thing in the world.  Tony was and is just plain good-looking.  His best feature is his beautiful legs.  I mean really pretty.  Buddy, too.

But Carmen.  She wins the leg contest.  Without a doubt, I have never seen such beautiful legs anywhere.  And of course, she was a dazzeller, too, in her earlier years.  She’s so pretty now, when she dresses up, and her hair is healthy and shiny and thank goodness she gets it from the Hispanic genes in her.

Ben leaned way toward the Hispanic side, and I was shocked when his Patriarchal Blessing said he was from Ephraim.  I really expected his lineage to be from Manassah.  His hair has turned black, black, BLACK!!  It’s so pretty, and I can tell he won’t go bald, either.  None of my boys will be bald, except Tony, who is bald by choice.  Ben has the fabulous legs.  Absolutely beautiful.  They are identical to Tony’s.  Where do all of these beautiful legs come from?  Even on the boys?  Luis is bow-legged.  My legs were pretty, but they were short, not long and lithe, like Carmen and Maria, and Beth. 

And then Maria, who has the prettiest eyes of all.  Green!  Her hair is also healthy and shiny and pretty, and she has such a pretty slendar figure, and pretty legs.  Yes, there’s those legs again.

Where did all of you come from?  Where?  On top of the looks have the amazing talents. 

Bill, did I make it worse, or did I wiggle out?
