“Where do babies come from, Mom?”

“From the sides of trees, right in the bark!”

Well, at least some babies do.  Strange.  But the whole baby-making thing is pretty wondrous.  Any old kind of baby-making.  Some wag has said it proves that G-d has a sense of humor.  Maybe.  But I think G-d has bigger things to worry about.  I may have to take a break from all media.  The news, TV, Facebook…they are all getting me down.  Or more than that.  I feel stuck in a greasy black doom-dome of mental jello.  Yucky image, that.  Better to think about babies.
