Another thing about babies that I don't like

Four days ago, Sunday morning, when they were counting up the elephants at the Wild Animal Park they came up one extra.

A tiny baby elephant had been born the night before.

Those visitors (to what has sadly been renamed the San Diego Zoo's Safari Park) present that morning were treated to the sight of a fuzzy-legged little pachyderm standing below his mother's breast.

Standing.

He was standing on his first morning of life.  Standing and walking.

When's the last time anyone saw a human baby standing up, even within the first week?

This reminds me of another thing I don't like about babies.

They're lazy.

Of course someone tells me that this is by design, and the only reason baby elephants choose to stand right away is that their mommies don't have arms with which to pick up and hold their babies.

That's their opinion.

[Human] babies are lazy.
