The hospital nurses in the birthing ward nickname newborns: this one is Smiley, that one is Blue Eyes, that one over there is Fish Mouth. But in room 602, there’s Blubber. It’s not just because the baby is much fatter than usual, but because he won’t stop crying. The hard part is that poor mom is exhausted and so crying as well.
While the staff tried various means to soothe the baby, none succeeded, to the point where the new mom didn’t feel welcome at all; the ward stopped feeling hospitable.
Baby Blubber grew up to be an Olympic weightlifter.
