having never been one to mince words....

MISSY determined to simply open the window.....
and  literally SCREAM at the passersby,
"STOP !!!!  LOOK AROUND YOU !!!!"
"DON"T YOU SEE THE BASKETS FULL OF BABIES ????"
the newborns,
fourteen of them,
had been left on the sidewalk.....
some freaky adaptation of 'moses left on the Nile', she guessed.....
and people were just walking by !!!
NOT NOTICING !!!
HOW ON EARTH COULD THEY BE SO BLIND ????
so, in true form, she put on her sweats and sneakers......
and took the WHEELBARROW out of the coat closet....
(why did she have a wheelbarrow in Manhattan ???)
(an unanswered question !)
nonetheless, SHE HAD ONE !!!
so she ran downstairs and began gathering the newborns
and loading them into the wheelbarrow.....
NOBODY NOTICED !!!
huh ???
she wanted to hit these pedestrians over their 'coiffed' heads !!
what was wrong with people in this city ???
and where had these babies come from ??
interesting to note......they were perfectly clean and smelled of baby powder and lotion.....
all swaddled up in pink blankets...
WEIRD>>>>>>>>>>
REALLY< <<<
there wasn't time to think....
she had to get them indoors and call the Manhattan precinct....
they were tiny, little things, so they fit perfunctorily into the wheelbarrow.....
and luckily, it was lined with soft down...
so the infants felt cozy...
okay....okay......
too much to tell in one blogpost !
stay tuned.......
