Was watching a recent episode of the “Blacklist” TV show. The main guy is this underworld guy that has no qualms of killing people.
He offers to hold the screaming baby of some guy.
The ruthless killer says something like
“Oh the joys of having such a little one. Only a few things that upset them, they let you know when they are upset, and so easy to fix. Hungry. A filled diaper. Tired. Or - gas.”
He burbs the baby and cuddles it to sleep.
Too bad these low-lifes couldn’t even handle that.
Although the ruthless killer had it wrong. We had twins, both collicky. The only thing that would soothe them was bouncing them on your lap while sitting on the bouncy ball. Usually it was both of them at once - holding them both and bouncing, bouncing, bouncing. For hours.
My wife bore the brunt of it, but I did my share as well.
I have five children, only one was colicky. I can’t imagine having two at the same time. It was quite trying with one.
Raymond Reddington is an awesome character. But he’s extremely intelligent. These two? I’m pretty sure their IQs combined wouldn’t reach his.
