Every once in a while, I get a chance to be really popular. When Jake brought his 10 month old baby to work, I jumped at a chance to let the parents eat their lunch in peace, and take Malachai of their hands for a few minutes. One loop around our hallways, normally takes about one minute. With Malachai in my hands it took more than 15.

Everybody wanted to hold the baby. They almost got into a fight over it. :)
You can see what happened when I sublet the kid for a minute. Immediately several other baby-holder wannabees appeared asking for a time-share.

"Nice baby, is it yours?"
"No, this is a Rent-A-Baby program. Much cheaper than ownership."

"You brought a baby?"
"No, this is a morale event. Just hold these cute feet in your hands for a few seconds and you'll be happy the rest of the day."

"This is small Sasha?"
"No, Our IT department is now issuing them. You have a choice of a laptop or a baby, so I'm testing a baby."
(this one is almost true, as Jake is in our IT, and this is where I got the kid)

Пошто немам куче, позајмио сам од колеге бебу да прошетам кроз канцеларије. Наравно да су сви излетали и отимали се о шансу да помилују или носе бепче. Акције су ми скочиле, а свима је било лепо, и вратили су се на своје радне задатке са осмехом на лицу. Мислим да би млади родитељи требали да доносе своје мезимце сваки дан. Свима би било лепше после тога. :)
