Maybe I am getting old. (Laughs)"

Dear Fonseca,
Many of my friends and family members are in their mid to late twenties and are having their first babies. My co-workers and I had a discussion at lunch yesterday about whether or not it's okay to tell someone they have an ugly baby. Not all babies are created equally. In fact, many aren't very good looking. Should I be honest if someone asks what I think of their child or should I lie and be politically correct and say they have a beautiful baby? I don't have kids, but I would think honesty is the best policy.
