Is the title of an advertisement for a mother/baby unit at one of our local  
hospitals.  It starts out:  "Our Pampered Pregnancy" program still  showers 
moms-to-be with all of our special amenities before, during and after  
delivery."  
 
OK, I want to know how long the mother is there before delivery in order to  
be pampered -- and what does that mean?  Manicure?  Pedicure?   While she's in 
labor?  Or just an epidural???
 
It goes on to tout their "beautifully renovated private rooms" with lovely  
hardwood floors all in a hotel like setting with a refrigerator and flat screen 
 TV.  
 
BUT -- oh, you have to see this part!!!
 
"We're even pampering baby with a newly decorated nursery featuring -- you  
won't believe this -- a "beautiful BABY-CALMING MURAL."
 
I nearly choked on my coffee.  I can see the nurses now -- "Oh  sweetie, 
don't cry -- just look at that mural over there -- it will calm you  right down!!"
 
To phrase an old song, "When will they ever learn?  When will they  ev-e-r 
learn???"
