TINY STORY: FIRST NIGHT

“WAAAAH!”

(Distracted, surprised, amused and harrowed) “Google never said a baby can poop, throw up, fart and pee at the same moment!”

“WAAAAAH!”

(Accusingly) “You don’t know a thing about babies!”

“WAAAAAAH!”

(Accusing back) “Do you?”

(Sigh) “How do we clean her now that she is covered with muck all over?”

“Bathe her?”

“WAAAAAAAAH!”

“But it is 3 am and it is cold!”

(Sigh) “Let’s ask your mom!”

“WAAAAAAAAAAH!”

“But it is 3 am!”

“Then, how do we clean her?”

“WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”

(Sigh) “Let me wipe her.”

“WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”

(Sigh) “You try comforting her. I’ll wipe.”
