I hope that
this will someday be memoir that I can share with my son (or hide from my daughter).
We will see how it goes, and how far into the darkness that it regresses.
But, to get
the ball rolling, I intend to just share the little bits of wisdom that I pick
up.
The only
real advice that I have gotten so far has come from a co-worker:
“You know
why you hear so often “Never shake a baby??? Because people want too… You never
see a poster telling you to not stick your hand in a George Foreman grill, cause
nobody WANTS to do that…”
He is
right.. if you type into Google “Never Shake” it doesn't autocorrect to “Never
Shake a can of soda”
There is even
a website dedicated to it.
The following is taken from that website :
“The Kiwanis Club of Ottawa has produced a video, Never shake a baby!
What parents and caregivers need to know.”
Really, what more to the
subject is there than that? I am picturing an expecting parent from an Ottawa
suburb, raising his hand at the end of the movie showing:
“Now… I'm not 100% confident…. When is it acceptable to shake my baby???? What??? Never???? Bullsh@#!!!”
and then flipping the table and running out of the Kiwanis Club, getting on his
Zamboni, and speeding off.
So I have
gotten one concept committed to memory thus far..
As good a
place to start as any I guess……
