Ok, so let's say someone gets a nose job.

Then they have a kid.

Will that kid be more apt to get the person's old nose or their new one?

I've been thinking about this all morning and I am stumped.

They'll get the plastic surgeon's nose.

Which nose was designed genetically? (The old nose)

Similarly, if a parent dyes their genetically brown hair purple, the kid isn't going to have purple hair.

Dumbest question ever.

And we've had some pretty dumb ones. :D

(Ask Ashlee Simpson--she got a new nose then had a baby)

Don't babies get their own noses? I mean, I didn't take my mom's or my dad's nose, they both have theirs still.

I wouldn't want my kid to take my nose. I like mine where it is.

I took my daughter's nose the other night. And then I was like "Ha! I got your nose, now I'm gonna eat it!"

So she took mine and ate it too. Now neither of us have a nose.

Kids these days are too smart. I tell you. I mean, in my day, we couldn't actually tell that it was just their thumb and not our actual nose. We really thought it was our nose.

I guess the obvious question here is....

Who nose?

No, that was just you.

I was just thinking... you know how some little kids are? Once a friend of mine said to a little kid, "Haha! I got your nose!" And the kid started crying and freaking out "Give me my nose back! Give me my nose back!"

I actually tried it on my brother, except I took his brains. And then he started crying and freaking out... "give it back! Give it back!"

Behind you! Boo.
Oh yes, they get the new, pert nose. Also, if the mom has breast implants, the baby is born with enormous knockers.

Doesn't everyone know this?
