I am here to amuse you, not entertain you. If not now, later. If not you, somebody else. If you can't laugh at yourself, that's just fine, too.

I know that everybody's kid is perfect.
But sometimes, something happens that's too funny to not share.
No baby was harmed in the laughing-at of the baby in this video.
This baby was also unharmed.

That is to say, a single day to celebrate Mom. Again, it's a whittled-down, brunch-heavy version of ancient goddess worship.
