Dear Continuing Tales of Max Henry Editor,

I was recently cleaning out my old musty attic when I came across some pictures of someone close to me. These baby pictures are taken when my husband Rob was a mere three weeks old. Do you think that my Rob and your Max can be related? Brothers, perhaps? Maybe distance cousins?

Sincerely,

Reader Clare






Dear Clare,

I damn near fell off the couch looking at these pictures. It was like one of those "ripped from the headlines" X-Files episodes. I think that there is a shocking resemblance between your Rob and our Max. Though the facial features are quite similar, I notice a lot more heft in the diaper region in the photo on the left. Did Rob always have a large waist? Or was this a fully loaded diaper? He's a bit rotund in that area, much more so than our Max. But then again, Max is a growing boy. Give him a couple of weeks.
