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

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!

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. ;),
