Seeing a new mother and her child is a beautiful scene
Seeing the love in her eyes
Seeing how much she cares
See the tender care she takes when touching her child
And then you get closer
And you smell child vomit
And see the little stains of the vomit on the mother’s blouse and skirt
And you smell diaper smells
And the baby has a runny nose
And a little bit of that baby acne
So really it’s not a pretty scene at all
It makes you wonder why we have children at all
Then I remembered how we make them
And then the mother screamed at me to back off and stop staring
And to stop trying to stroke her hair
Note to self:
Stay away from new mothers
They are wacky and unpredictable
