Gray, rubbery mass with ears

Okay. So Cathy was not real impressed by this, but we just saw "the video." You know...the one with the actual births. I was enthralled. That was so cool. I was in pure amazement mode the entire time watching those babies be born.

I think the most amazing part was how the doctors and nurses just kinda toss them around and rub them clean like you would buff a chrome bumper. The very second that they are clean and pinkish, everyone starts being more careful. It's funny, really. I am convinced that it is because babies are just simply NOT real babies until they get cleaned up a bit.

They are simply gray little masses that pop out like one of those snake-in-a-cans. Struggle, struggle, struggle...there's a head...then there is an explosion of bits and pieces. BOOM...an arm! BOOM...a leg! BOOM...is that an accordion? It looks like something trying real hard to appear to be a baby. Let's just wipe this off...scrub that down...peel this thing off...drain that out.

BOOM...a baby! I can't wait for the real thing! Well, yes I can. At least three and a half weeks. Cool.
