An Unfortunate Child

A pregnant woman goes to the doctor for results of a test and the doctor invites her in to sit down.

“I’m sorry to tell you, Mrs. Smith, that your baby has some serious problems.”

“What problems, doctor? I mean, when it arrives, I’ll love it. It’s my child and I’ll love it regardless.”

“Well, yes, of course,… but your child has no legs.”

“Oh dear. Well, it’s my child, and I’ll love it regardless.”

“And it hasn’t got any arms either.”

“What?”

“Exactly what I said. Your child doesn’t have a body, or a face. In fact, your child is only a very, very big ear.”

“Oh my God! This is terrible! Well, it’s my child, and I’ll love it. I’ll learn all the lullabies in the world to sing to it.”

“Mrs. Smith, one last thing….

Unfortunately, your child is deaf.”
