Seems these guys love to care for babies &#8212; grab &#8216;em from their mothers and haul them around to male pow wows.  Doesn&#8217;t matter if it&#8217;s their own baby; any infant will do.

A couple of years ago I had that breakdown over Jake&#8217;s fifteen-month evaluation at preschool &#8212; the kind where they determine whether said fifteen-month-old can say anything more than &#8220;Mama&#8221; and &#8220;Dada&#8221; and pick up a Cheerio with his fingers.  And that breakdown, I felt, brought me to a [...]]]></description>
