Baby Tossing

For centuries, families in India for reasons of luck
Have tossed their babies from a 50-foot tower, they've run amuck
These guys are “bleat”
Babies land on a bed sheet 
A custom to which these newborns are blessed as they chuck

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 10/28/2019 7:35:00 AM No way! ;D, Areate your babes! ...When Brad's wife was in hospital delivering his second child, he was changing the diaper on his first- who hated it, his method of cheerful distraction was tossing him up and down- right into a low hanging ceiling fan- sliced open his forehead... Wife said, that's ok, we have another one. ;D xomo! Login to Reply Jack Ellison Date: 10/28/2019 8:50:00 AM LOL Sorry to laugh but... new dads are dangerous! XOX Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 10/28/2019 8:07:00 AM Nope, true story. He was at his brother inlaw's, not used to the fan being there. 20+ years later I think he's still traumatized, mostly from having to hold his little head still for the stitches. ;), Jack Ellison Date: 10/28/2019 8:02:00 AM You're joking of course!!! I did something similar but made sure there was no ceiling fan overhead! YIKES! LOL XOX
