Today, one of the computer-tech guys from down the hall came to have a meeting with our computer-tech guy….and he brought along his several months old baby, Tom.
Tom is pretty cute. He’s built roughly like a snowman. Fat legs, fat middle, round head. He’s also got gigantic blue eyes, and I’m not sure I ever saw him blink.
Meanwhile, my office is probably 50/50 men and women, and I other than the secretary the ladies seemed to simply ignore little Tom and carry on with their business…
Meanwhile, the men in the office couldn’t get enough of making faces, tickling the baby, talking in baby-talk, all capped off when Tom, relaxing in his baby-carriage-stroller began crying and they crowded around and each took his turn trying to make him stop. One of them, after unsuccessfully trying to stop Tom’s tears said, “Isn’t there a woman around here who could pretend to be his mother for a few moments?” No. No there was not.
What’s up Israeli girls? Three men, a baby, and no interest from the ladies…really?…I figured all the womenfolk would be gathered around little Tom like a puppy in a kindergarten class….No?….well, it is what it is…
I would!
