Chinese Ballet
FOUND by Noemie in Manhattan, New York
I found this on the sidewalk outside of Bazini's.

I don't get why this is "chinese ballet"?

A lot of adults seem to feel the need to make faces at babies, I suppose to make them smile or get their attention. Here Baby makes the first move!

Maybe, like Phonetic Swearing, this Find has been cropped to exclude the Chinese dancers?

Barzini is a grocery store on the upper west side of Manhattan [2455 Broadway (between 90th St & 91st St)]. Which, for those not in the know, is nowhere near the Chinatown neighborhood.

Maybe Grandpa's shirt was made in China and he's in a delicate ballet with his new grand-daughter to keep her from decorating it with spit up milk.

I looked up Bazini's as well. Customers give it rave reviews.

Can't find anything funny to say about this cute pic, and I refuse to say anything cynical about it.

Xiaosheng in Beijing (not really)
Perhaps the submitter was thinking of Chinese Opera? The baby does somewhat resemble Chou (the clown). One of the Chinese Operas has a happy devil that is always sticking out it's tongue ... I've seen it, but can't find a picture. Click below, you get the idea.

Limerick entry...

I'll smile at this real cute baby
To see if by doing, he'll maybe
Laugh and stick out his tongue
For some laughter among
All those who now see my grandbaby.

Well, at least it was clean.

I may be a bit skeptical, I find this to be a homely baby.

no phone, no pool, no pets. ain't got no cigarettes
Watch out, Pappy. Bebby just hawked a big one, & he's gettin' ready to "ptui" it right in your eye.

DogBreath, are you kidding me? I think this little guy's adorable!

Is it just me, or does Grandpa look like Robert Loggia!?

"Chinese ballet"? We don't need no steenkin' Chinese ballet!

I don't know.... Robert Loggia?
LOL Go Kart.. I had the exact same immediate response.

Awww...this picture could be of my father in law and my daughter when she was a baby. Grandpa with the Italian nose and the fluffy gray hair, and baby with the big eyes and fuzzy brown hair. I love this! :)

That child looks somewhat demonic.

I have been perusing this site for a couple of days now...heard about it in RD and I haven't commented yet.

But I had to say that this picture brought tears to my eyes....and it also made me hope that it was a digital pic, because if it were mine, I'd sure hate to lose it!
