You’ve come a long way, Baby
So very dear.
I worked at the Republican Headquarters in Kent County Michigan 234234 years ago. Gerry Jerry Ford was out congressman and he came into the office frequently. Dan Gerber was the titular head of the Michigan Repub party back then. I was very very good at forging his signature on letters we sent out to possible contributors.
If I’d been even slightly larcenous....well, you can imagine.
So....., being spoon-fed baby food, again?
Love to tell this story.
A family of missionaries went to live in this primitive village to convert the villagers to Christ. The villagers saw themselves as sociologists every bit as much as the missionaries did and they became particularly fascinated about how the wife prepared their meals.
The villagers would cram into the kitchen when food was being prepared and they soon developed their own theory and were very proud of themselves to have their theory confirmed. If, for example, the wife opened a can of beans, they could tell what it was by the photo on the can. A can of corn had a picture of corn. A box of cereal had a picture of cereal.
The tribesmen were delighted to find their theory was consistently true until one day they followed the wife into the kitchen as usual then dashed out of the home in stark terror. The wife had just opened a jar of Gerber’s baby food for their infant.
They grow up so fast.
I’m waiting to see when they put a transgender baby on the jar. You think I’m kidding,don’t you?
Good for the Gerber baby!
And she hasn’t changed a bit!
