WhitneyTo Be or Not to Be a Mother -Part Two
October 20th 2006 16:23
Last night Abby, a producer for the colicky baby segment of 20/20, came to the house to interview me, my husband and Josh. According to her we were a lock. Hands down she’d never heard any baby scream as loud or as long as our son. How proud was I?
Apparently, Abby and a small entourage had stood outside my house and listened. That’s right they’d just stood there listening to Josh wail. And according to them he was the loudest and most persistent wailer of the bunch. And she’d assured us that there’d been quite a few entries. But he’d out-cried them all.
All my life I’d wanted to be chosen above all others. To be number one, numero uno and finally I was. I was the number one draft pick as mother of the crabbiest baby around. Somehow winning just didn’t feel as good as I’d expected.
But Abby and her crew were very excited. And a short while after bestowing this honor upon us she took her posse and left us to begin arranging the overnight stay they’d planned at our house. Josh was to be the lead baby in this colicky baby segment. In a few days we’d have our fifteen minutes of fame.
