As found on Craigslist

My heart is broken

The poster requests only serious inquiries. OK, then. Start with the obvious--is his mother a Happy Cow®? If she’s still alive, we doubt it.

Children notice the strangest things, don’t they? If, after nine weeks of separation, this baby boy noticed his mother across a wide, green field and she called to him, he would run to her to be nursed and groomed by her warm, rough tongue. Make it six months and nine weeks later, the reunion would look the same. Children would notice that, too.

We noticed that our calendar marks the start of a New Year. If you cannot give hope and shelter to this mother’s precious child, we’re thinking you should do something besides nurse a hangover tomorrow.
