It reminds me of a great story a client told me recently.  Gramma, who grew
up in an orphanage, came to see the new baby (4 weeks).  Everyone was
passing the happy baby around and Gramma said with "tight lips",  "Well she
surely does like to be held!"

New Papa, (her son) replied, "Don't we all, Ma."

After a short pause, Gramma said, "Well, I guess we do."
