I'm a Grandma!
Heh...I bet THAT got your attention!
For a class assignment, Taylor brought home a "Baby Think It Over". It's a "lifelike doll that cries throughout the day and night..just like a real baby. for the next two days, Taylor has to be the "baby"'s primary care giver.
Oh man, has it been an experience so far.
The baby (whose name is Willie) has cried twice since he's been here. Twice in about 7 hours. Taylor is ready to pull her hair out. Me, I'm bustin' a gut I'm laughing so hard. She doesn't see the humor.
"Quit laughing! Do you know how hard it is to have this kid and get anything done?"
"Hum...nope, not a clue. Go ahead, enlighten me."
"The first time he cried, I was on the phone and had to hang up to feed him and change his diaper."
Wow...I don't know which is more tragic, the diaper change or that she had to get off the phone. I kept that thought to myself.
"And you were here for the second time."
"Yep. I was. And I have pictures to prove it."
Taylor scowled at me and walked away. If she's annoyed with me taking the pictures, then I can't imagine how she's going to react when (or if) she sees the pictures I posted below.
As she walked out of the room, I yelled after her.
"Don't forget Willie!"
She's still not speaking to me. think maybe she'll think long and hard about having kids (and perhaps having sex) before she is ready to deal with the consequences? Here's hoping.
Gee..can't wait to see how she reacts when the baby cries...at 3am...
