Probably you, but you can't remember doing it. I won a disco competition once (It was a very very long time ago)

I won a beautiful baby competition in 1947 but HEY! Let's not get into too much willy waving Huh?

Fortunately ALL the photographs of my triumph are safely under lock and key at the kennel.

Triumph car or triumph over other babies? (not one to boast about: "I beat those babies, yeah, I showed em what for, yeah, I beat them all." etc.)

I knew nothing about it for many years until my mother confessed that she had entered me and told me I had won. Apparently it caused a great deal of fuss as my parents had moved from the village in which I was born and were in fact back there on holiday, staying with my Grandmother. Other mothers claimed that I was no longer a village baby. Mother told me that the vicar had to adjudicate and ruled that as other children entered had not been born or christened in the village but had moved there since whereas I had been born and christened in the village I had more right to be the winner than they who had taken up residence later.
As I say this story was revealed to me many years later .... but what a slice of village life ~ which we were talking about elsewhere.

And before you asked how a beautiful baby comp winner could end up looking like me ..... the answer is LIFE!

My what a big boy .... I was a mere 10lb 3oz ~ Mother never really forgave me, 'spect yours felt the same way.

Actually the three you met all came in at around 9 and half pounds. Mrs S looks at babies of 6 and 7 lbs and tells their proud mothers that we throw them back if they're that small.
