What Babies Bring


A former English professor of mine has designed a wonderful collection of postcards called things like "Why We Read" or "Why Coffee is Important," and a colleague gave me this one today:

WHAT BABIES BRING
Late-night entertainment


A new array of aromas
Their own agendas
A stuffed animal stampede
A fresh look at family
An excuse for earthiness
Terrifying responsibility
Gloating grandparents
Smiles from strangers
Suspicious siblings
Large piles of small pajamas
An ongoing reality check
A reminder of mystery
