With all the new technology regarding fertility recently, a 75-year-old friend of mine was able to give birth. When she was discharged from the hospital and went home, I went to visit.
‘May I see the new baby?’ I asked. ‘Not yet,’ She said ‘I’ll make coffee and we can visit for a while first.’ Thirty minutes had passed, and I asked, ‘May I see the new baby now?’ ‘No, not yet,’ She said. After another few minutes had elapsed, I asked again, ‘May I see the baby now?’ ‘No, not yet,’ replied my friend. Growing very impatient, I asked, ‘Well, when can I see the baby?’ ‘WHEN HE CRIES!’ she told me ‘WHEN HE CRIES?’ I demanded. ‘Why do I have to wait until he CRIES?’ ‘BECAUSE I FORGOT WHERE I PUT HIM, O.K.?’
