The menopausal mother

The menopausal mother

With all the new technology regarding fertility, a 65 year-old woman was able to give birth to a baby recently. When she was discharged from the hospital and went home, her relatives came to visit.

"May we see the new baby?" one asked.

"Not yet," said the mother. "I'll make coffee and we can visit for awhile first."

Thirty minutes passed, and another relative asked, "May we see the new baby now?"

"No, not yet," said the mother.

After another few minutes elapsed, they asked again, "Please, may we see the baby now?"

"No, not yet," replied the mother.

Growing very impatient, they asked, "Well, when CAN we see the baby?"

"WHEN IT CRIES!" she told them.

"WHEN IT CRIES," they demanded. "Why do we have to wait until it CRIES?"

BECAUSE, I forgot where I put it."
