Date with a borrowed baby

Since I don't have a baby of my own, I borrow one. I have a friend with a baby I've know since birth. The bottom line is she trusts me. I gloat about him as if I had birthed him myself. I took the day off of work today and hung out with the boy. I spent as much time getting ready for the kid as when I go out on a date. I wanted to look like the poshest wanna-be mom in town. We lunched and dined flawlessly. There was the visit to the turtle pond and the fish tank. After a ride down the highest slide in the park and a bouncy motorcycle, it was time for his bath. After 8hrs of engaging the child in games of vroom-vroom and who's-the-silly-boy, I returned him to his natural habitat. I love him. And I love that I can hand him off.
