At dinner one night, Brooke noticed the “cutest little thing” over by the dessert bar. Garnish kiwis decoratively cut into miniature fruit baskets.
Thus began an hours-long debate on the definition of cute.
We came to several conclusions:
Anything used by, worn by or having anything to do with a child is immediately cute.
Covering anything in kittens must invariably increase its net cuteness. This is known as the Chaisson effect.
fun-size candy = not cute
mini candy= cute
This one surprised me, chicken nuggets are -though they’re potentially small versions of bigger pieces of chicken- not cute.
It was decided that tiny lethal missiles, because of their excessive propensity for harm, are not cute.
This one I saw coming. All mammal babies, miniature versions of functional things, like smart cars and dollhouses.
All mammal babies. That includes vicious puppies and lion cubs, even if they’re eating you, are cute. Apparently they aren’t “excessively” harmful.
Another interesting effect: Babies in leather jackets are cute, but babies in fur coats are not. I disagree. I think they’d look like the world’s smallest pimps.
Another thing I have to mention is when beings that aren’t human act like they’re people. See any Pixar film for proof.
The moral of the story is: if you want to make something cuter, either make it small or cover it in kittens.
What if you COMBINE the baby mammals and the tiny missiles? I think that we’ve found another untapped internet market. Especially if those baby mammals are leather clad : P
Oh, god… war kittens! run for the hills. they’ll disarm you with cuteness then fire tiny lethal missiles at you!
I’d have to refute that all baby animals and kittens are cute with this link.

I’m not gonna lie, that thing is terrifying.
the moral is sad but true…
