I think I want a Japanese baby

Lately, everyone is always asking me whether I want a boy or a girl. It's a hard question, but I think I've finally found an answer. From now on when someone asks me, I'm just going to reply "I don't care, as long as it's Japanese."

I will go into detail on why I'd much prefer one of the cute little dark-haired Japanese babies, then the surely odd looking child Heidi and I will produce. If necessary I will break out the wallet-sized examples I have provided below as proof of why these children are much cuter and more fun than normal babies (just look at the one with rice all over him, he's having a BLAST!)







My hope is that by this point the asker of the question will either run away, thinking I am insane, or be so intrigued by my answer that we continue down a long path of conversation that includes further questions such as:
  • "It is possible for two white Americans to have a Japanese baby?"
  • "Do you plan to go to Japan and kidnap/save one, Madonna-style?"
  • "What is the financial cost analysis of raising a Japanese baby vs. and American baby?"
  • "What are the long-term rammifications of having a Japanese baby? (i.e. Do you still prefer Japanese teenagers over white teenagers?)"
Either way, I win. Awkward question avoided. Problem solved.

Basically what I'm trying to say is that I have no idea which sex is better, and it kinda annoys me that people think that I would prefer one over the other...either way it is going to be my first (and probably, only) child and I will love it. I refuse to be one of those people who goes out and has like 6 extra kids because they weren't happy with the first five being girls...

And seriously, you have to admit those Japanese babies are cute, right?

well, its true they´re pretty but, they´re not like pets you know -.-u like you can decide wich dog breed you prefer.
I think that if you have a baby with white american characteristics it will still be beautiful, besides, dont you want a child that looks like you? Or maybe you prefer to adopt a japanese baby... i think that´s the only way for you to have it. Well, whatever you decide, remember having a child is a big gift and also a big responsability. Good luck! ;)
