Oh, my, what a wonderful "birth" annoucement!  Kudos, Midnite, this is a hoot!

I bet Julia wishes and and Barn could have a baby in the more conventional manner, however.  

Watch the proud parents have more trouble than they can handle!

Love, Robin

How creative and clever, Midnite!  RingoCollins would be proud.   8)

I'd ask you to give the adorable new arrival a hug and a kiss, but that would probably be a little too dangerous.

Dear Midnite,

Although Mr. B. and Dr. H. will be initially concerned with important matters, such as who will be Adam's godparents (Mrs. Johnson and Judge Crathorne, first come to mind), I think that there are other important decisions to be made.

For example, who will be responsible (besides the already preoccupied Mr. B. and Dr. H.) for Adam's initial instruction?  Somehow, I think that "sibling" Willie Loomis will be assigned the you-know-what detail of acquainting "Baby" Adam with the basic concept of proper "potty training."  ("Please, Dr. Hoffman, send me back to Windcliff, now!!!")  

Of course, Barnabas and Julia could always "purloin" some of those long, unused toys in the "now you see it, now you don't playroom in the West wing of Collinwood for "Baby" Adam's enjoyment.

And, Barnabas and/or Julia could request the good folks at Brewster's Department Store to make a special order for some Sumo Wrestler-sized baby clothes for their new bundle of joy!

Willie could go into the local BJ's or Walmart's and buy out the store(s) entire supply of Gerber's Baby Food for the bouncing baby.  (What the heck, people wouldn't say anything.  They already know that ol' Willie is a little "strange" anyway.)

Sincerely,

Bob the Bartender, who reminds everyone that US Savings Bonds are the perfect gift for a perfect baby!

Bob the B,

Enjoyable insights, as always!

Before my first-born's arrival, I hired a professional babyproofer (I don't do windows either ;)), who took care of such details as installing childproof locks on lower cabinets, making window cords safe, etc.  What a pity that Dr. Lang's home won't get the same treatment, though I could only imagine the expense, even by 60s standards, considering the vast number of electrical outlets in the "nursery" and hazardous substances lying about in glass containers, not to mention that it's a rare cabinet or shelf that wouldn't be out of Adam's reach, and I won't even get into the scalpels, syringes, harpoons...

So I guess locking Adam in a cell in the basement of the Old House was really just a reasonable safety precaution?

And I got grief for using a playpen  ::)

Thanks for the great laugh, Midnite! That was hilarious.

I hate to be picky, but technically isn't DR. LANG actually the father and or mother? I mean, he created the guy - Julia and Barnabas just brought him to life. Seems like he should get a little credit somewhere.

Dear Patti,

I just want to say God love you.  You've broached a subject that even I doubt that I would ever have had the nerve to bring up for discussion.  But, since you've mentioned the subject of the "unkindest cut of all," how do we know for sure that Adam is of the Jewish persuasion?

You know, the great Joan Rivers does a joke where a vampire is about to bite a guy, and the guy pulls a crucifix out from his jacket, brandishing it in front of the vampire for protection.  The vampire just smirks at the guy and says (in his best Jackie Mason voice), "You silly schicsta, you need a Star of David, not a cross to protect you from me!"

Sincerely,

Bob the Bartender, who agrees with the observation that you never really remember that simple surgical procedure, circumcision, from your infancy.  (Yeah, right...ouch!!!)

Okay, so long as someone ELSE brought up circumcisions.....

At one point in my life I worked in the billing office of a hospital.  One day a very irate father called to complain that he had received a bill for his son's circumcision, which would never have taken place.

The woman he was speaking to (a miserable old biddy) rudely informed him that she couldn't take his word that the procedure had not taken place, but would have to investigate the records and speak with the doctor who allegedly performed the circumcision.

He replied that she should gather all the paperwork and all the doctors she thought she required, and he would be right down with his naked son....and they'd see who won the argument.

He did.

We laughed about that one for months.
