That would explain a lot.

That explains the grapple scars on my back…

I flashed on “Brave New World”.

My eldest son shortly after bringing his brother home from the hospital. “He’s too noisy, can you take him back.”

Reminds me of the Star Trek (original series) episode Mark of Gideon, where every scene of the world is crowded like a NY city subway station at rush hour (before Covids of course).

Try to snag one that looks like you or it will grow up with an adoption complex.

He looks like he’s asking himself if he wants to spend the money on a token.

Hooked on life.

I find it interesting that the sign above the window says “MATERNITY” but it is actually the “NURSERY” within the Maternity Ward.

I like the new way with the birthing rooms and both parents being able to sleep in the room with the baby. When I had my wild child, I was in a standard two person hospital room with another new mother.

At least it’s not a whack a mole game.

When my youngest son was born, my husband (now my ex) brought our first-born to the hospital to see his brother. When they left to go home, my oldest said, “We’re just going to leave him here? What if someone else picks our baby?” He was 3 weeks shy of being 4 years old. We still laugh about it.

“This is Us?”
