My good friend Megan works for a credit union that is throwing a big contest for “cutest baby” or something. Since every baby looks exactly the same to me, I didn’t pay close attention.
However, apparently the people in the first few slots are cheating. Somehow they’re artificially getting votes, and apparently the system detected it. But before the system caught it, other people in the contest caught it. And they started bitching up a storm on the credit union Facebook page. This was a big to-do.
The prize for having the cutest baby? A 529 plan with 1k. Even after 18 years growing at 7%, that’s barely going to pay for a semester’s worth of textbooks. I mean, a thousand bucks is a thousand bucks, but worth cheating over? If you’re going to cheat, go bigger.
Oh, and by the way, I am going to cheat. Well, not technically cheat in getting bogus votes, but entering with a bogus baby.
I went to Google images to find the most amazingly beautiful baby online. I found it.
(“It” because I don’t know if it’s a boy or girl. I mean, who can tell? And who cares?)
Now, don’t worry. If I win (I won’t), I’ll bow out and not take the prize. So, we’re just going to see if we can take this baby up the charts for a goof. But I need your help.
His/Her name is Ginger, which I named after my favorite root. I swear. I mean, oh wait! Now I know why you’re laughing! You thought… No, but what a coincidence!

I would have gone with “baby Conan” but Ginger does have a nice ring to it…

It’s things like this that make me wish I were on Facebook. I’ll totally give you 5 Imagination Stars, which I believe are redeemable for partial Facebook credit.
