I Probably Should Have Seen That Coming

Nurse Buddy, to me- "Girl. You have got to go take a look at my baby in room 6. It's one of the cutest babies I've ever seen in my life. Seriously."
I walk in there to find indeed one of the most adorable babies I've ever seen, with a tiny adorable baby afro and huge dimples, all chubby and giggly and squee-inspiring. It was especially impressive given the fact that his dad, who was there with him, was a dead ringer for Lil' Wayne, minus the dreads.
I stayed in there for a bit and made a fuss over the baby and then excused myself, making some joke about how the baby was making me want a kid but mine couldn't possibly turn out that cute, so I had better go. Of course, hood hospital Lil' Wayne didn't miss a beat and responded with, "It would if you had the right daddy!", smiling to reveal one of the most ridiculous grills I have ever seen and pointing enthusiastically to himself.
Damn! I walked right into that one. I mean, I'm married and don't want kids any time soon, but I still don't even think that would be a viable back-up plan just based on how many prophylactic antibiotics would be necessary alone.

  2. You were basically asking for that, but it was still funny! Poor baby's mommy, I hope they're not together anymore for her sake.

  3. Hilarious!

    Hey, did you ever read my blog story about the proposed 3 way by a former patient and her husband post delivery??

    Weirder things happen. :)

  4. Ew, yeah, I do remember that now! You for sure win the creeper contest, dude. I at least think this guy was half joking, but weren't they pretty much totally serious? Yikes.
    Oh, and luckily for her I think baby mama was out of the picture. I actually remember dealing with this same dad and baby a couple of times in triage before this as baby's grandma is a frequent flyer, and mom's never been around.

    LOL
    This scenario sounds all too familiar.
