Were you ever "ready?"

Maybe not as pretty as a child or whenever, but to say you were willing to do what you should to look cute as a child or whatever?

My theory is that people born around 1961 - 1970s are peeved at kids who aren't as attractive as Baby Boomers.  Most people are just as good as each other and if not accepted and loved turn out uglier from sitting around not being able to do anything socially.
