I heard somebody say on a YouTube video recently that part
of the value of a mother to a baby is that she’s the first ‘other person’ the
baby experiences in his or her new life. Sounds profound, doesn’t it? But is it
true?
Not usually. The first other person a baby experiences is
usually a midwife, a doctor, a paramedic, or a policeman in an emergency. And in America they charge the poor
parents a fee to allow the mother to be, at best, only the second person the baby
experiences as other. I believe they call it something like a 'skin contact' charge.
You know, I’m surprised that some American entrepreneur hasn’t developed a device to take the oxygen out of the atmosphere, then they could charge everybody to have a continuous supply of oxygen tanks strapped to their backs. If Trump only had a brain, he’d probably be working on it right now.
