What's In Your Teddy

What’s in Your Teddy The latest trend in motherhood Is bound to do the child no good For now they place with tender care The placenta in a teddy bear Then place that in the baby’s bed To nestle there beside his head To sleep with him both day and night But something tells me this ain’t right For when the kid is old enough He’ll find what they used to stuff And fluff up Teddy then you’ll see He’ll spend years and years in therapy Mdailey 4/15/12 I found this blurb on the internet this morning and had to write about it.

hahaha, VERY interesting thing you wrote about. I heard women are eating their own baby's placenta for their health. Good grief!
