  • #5! Surely it will become the latest in diaper technology, which you will be able to check from your phone!

  • Always thanks for the laughs. I love babies as people!
    #4 is great. Wah is great communication.

  • Although they are all good and made me laugh, #4 is the winner with #5 close behind. (Get it.)

    #4 because the mannerisms are down. The second baby listening to the baby telling the story, double-fisting the bottle, and sitting slightly hunched is exactly what adults do. And the “Waaaaah” is perfect. It reminds me of “Yada yada”.

    #5 is just plain clever. Plus the joke is immediate.

    • I appreciate all of these comments, but particularly Adrienne’s breakdown of the adult mannerisms. Like Charlotte, I love babies as people.

      Beth, I need to research this, but I bet there IS some sort of app for diaper dumps, etc.!
