N/A

New Father: Hey, thanks for agreeing to babysit tonight, Mom. We should be back around 10.

Mother: You know I love taking care of my grandbaby (baby cooing, rocking chair creeking)

New Father: Karen just nursed him so he should be ready to go off to sleep.

Mother: He's falling asleep right now. I'll just go and put him in his crib.

New Father: Mom, make sure you lay him on his back. That's the safest sleeping position for babies. It also reduces the risk of SIDS.

Mother: OK.

New Father: Ma, and make sure everything is out of his crib except his blanket.

Mother: Yes, Michael.

New Father: And...

Mother: Uhhh, Michael. I raised you AND your brothers and sisters. (laugh) And I think I can handle little Mikey.

But I must admit...I'm really proud of you, son. Where did you learn how to be such a great Dad?

New Father: You know, I learned a lot in our parenting class...but I've learned even more from you and Dad.
