This is a story for the Dads who think stay home Mums have it easy… 

One of my cousins, J, recently delivered a set of twins.  She made her sister, JL, the godmother of both babies.  Looking after twins was rather exhausting for J so JL said, “Don’t worry!  When I get there, I’ll get right into it!”

Eager to see her godchildren, JL hopped on the next plane to the States.  When she arrived, J was quick to enlist her help to look after the babies.  Her first task for her sister was to change the diaper of one of her babies.  JL took one whiff, turned around and walked away.

On another occasion, JL was watching the babies while everyone else was busy.  After a while, she went to the kitchen and asked my aunt, “Mum, what are you doing?  Will you be done soon?”

My aunt, realising that JL was looking for someone to take over responsibility of looking after the babies, replied, “I’m cooking and no - I’ve got lots more to do so I won’t be done anytime soon.”

When JL was finally able to hand the babies over to another caretaker, she vanished.  Curious, my aunt asked, “Where’s JL?”

“Upstairs sleeping.”

By the time JL was ready to fly back to England, her comment was, “I didn’t realise it was so exhausting to look after a baby - I’d rather go back to work!”
