Chapter Forty-Two: Horrid Since the Cradle

                                    

                                          

In the heart of the Horrid Henry household, where chaos and mischief were as common as the air they breathed, a moment of embarrassment unfolded. It all began when Peter, armed with a mischievous grin, decided to unveil a treasure trove of embarrassing memories – Henry's baby pictures.
With a mischievous glint in his eye, Peter waved a stack of old photographs. "Alright, Rachel, brace yourself! It's time for a trip down memory lane."
Rachel, ever ready for a good laugh, leaned in eagerly. "Bring it on, Peter! Let's see the legendary Baby Horrid."
As Peter shuffled through the pictures, Henry squirmed uncomfortably. "Come on, Peter, don't be such a worm."
But Peter, reveling in the opportunity to tease his older brother, presented the first baby picture with a flourish. "And here we have Baby Henry in all his glory!"
The picture revealed a much younger, albeit equally mischievous, version of Henry, adorned in a onesie covered in colorful dinosaurs. His tiny hands clutched a toy dinosaur, and a mischievous glint sparkled in his baby eyes.
Rachel burst into laughter. "Oh, look at that! Baby Horrid was already planning his next prank."
Henry, feeling the heat of embarrassment, grumbled, "Alright, alright, I was cute once. Can we move on?"
But Rachel wasn't about to let him off the hook that easily. "Really? I see no change in that. The mischievous glint is still there."
Henry blushed, a rare sight for the horrid boy who usually reveled in his mischief. "Yeah, yeah, laugh it up. But I bet you were an adorable baby too, right?"
Rachel smirked, "Well, I don't have baby pictures with toy dinosaurs, but you'd be surprised. I had my rebellious charm even back then."
In the Horrid Henry household, where laughter and mischief were the ties that bound, the discovery of Baby Horrid's adorable escapades added a new layer to the horrid legacy. And as the teasing continued, Rachel reveled in the revelation that even the horrid ones had their moments of baby cuteness.
