Behold, wise big brother, I spy another strange thing. See, this youngest of all the brothers, this tiny one who cannot scheme nor plot nor bend mother's ear with an argument, this runt has procured for himself a treat most delectable. Tell me, older brother, how is it that he feasts on the sugary sweet gifts of angels, while mother attempts to pacify us with mere twigs of the earth?
Brothers, are you so foolish? Do you imagine that the power I have over our mother can be stolen like a rattle from my hand? God has again used what is of no account in this world to shame those who think themselves wise. In my fat thighs and round belly I store the power to charm the mother. My soft skin and baby smell uplift her mood like wine! A smile, a giddy inhale, or a mere flash of my dimple can cause her to forsake even the IPOD for me. I may be small, but what I have can never be taken from me.
Bow down brothers. I am the baby. |
