Bald Baby Blues

DAILY SNACK:

Bad Mother Edition

I pushed my three-year-old in the stroller.

The baby was tucked into the wrap.

They were both asleep,

And I was motoring up Yonge Street.

“Wait!” A woman cried.

I stopped short, on edge.

“Your baby is falling out.”

“No. She’s not.”

“Oh, I see. Well, cover her head. It’s windy.”

I almost hit her.

And, out of spite, I did not cover my baby’s head.

Even though it was windy.
