For a while now i realise that everywhere i turn i see babies in my block.
There’s a baby across my flat, there are babies where i take the lift, hell
there are babies in the bus i take to work, so much so that i have to give
up seats to them. Its not as though THEY are sitting, its the fat ass
parents who get to park their asses.
My friend just had a baby. And belive me, i didn’t have anything to do with it. There is so much pressure to see this baby. Every
time i talk to them, they say, “You have got to see the baby. When are you
coming over to see the baby? See the baby. See the baby. “Nobody ever wants
you to come over and see their grandfather. “You gotta see him. He’s so
cute. He’s 90kg. I love when they’re this age. He’s a thousand months. You
know the mid-eighties is such a good time for grandpeople. You’ve got to see
him. He went to the bathroom by himself today.”
What’s tough about seeing people when they have a new baby is that you have
to try and match their level of enthusiasm. They’re always so excited. “What
do you think of him? What do you think?”
Just once I would like to meet a couple that goes, “You know, we’re not that
happy with him frankly. I think we really made a big mistake. We should
have gotten an aquarium. You want him? We’ve really had enough.”
I personally don’t understand whats the big deal about babies anyway. They
cry at odd hours and like to take a crap and let you do the washing.
They are all
wet and squally most of the times, and the best thing is .. Its near to
impossible to have a intelligent conversation with them.
Cheers
ps: Babies of all ages like to stare at me.
