Fun Facts about Both Babies and Elderly

Sure, you have already heard some good fun facts about both babies and elderly separately. But the question is, have you ever seen a mixture of both baby and elderly facts existing together in perfect harmony?  I will answer that question for you – no you haven’t.

Not until now you haven’t.

Hello and Welcome

              Hi everybody! My name is Izzy Parizeau and I was born at Newton-Wellesley Hospital! As a baby, my first word was Floong. Oh, how I miss being a baby. But oh, how I am looking forward to becoming elderly.

 When I was deciding what to blog about, I was torn between babies and elderly. Babies are just so great—no one can deny that when they see a baby on the street, they just want to take that baby and kidnap it from its family and just raise it on its own. However, because of moral standards, many people do not follow through with this initial kidnapping plan. But it is the pure innocence and beauty and giggly goodness of a baby that fascinates people. Have you ever seen a baby with pimples? Nope. Have you ever seen a baby plan an organized murder? Use a gun? Commit an act of terrorism? Sell drugs to small children? Become a corrupt government official? Nope and nope and nope and nope and nope. Well, hopefully not. However, if you have, do not hesitate to comment on this post and tell your story because that is something that I would love to hear about. But that is what is so great about babies. They can’t do anything wrong, they are just like little bundles of sunshine that float through the first years of their life effortlessly. And they laugh and they cry and they sleep but they never hurt anyone, they just make people smile.

 And then there’s the elderly, or as we will refer to them in this blog (just for convenience purposes) the elds. The elderly of our community is like the raisins in your salad. They are wrinkly yet flavorful. They add a sense of happiness to our lives, with their gentle personalities, positive attitudes, and appreciation for life. Even when they are grumpy they are adorable, and if you haven’t noticed, they are always baking things and helping out at their church. So, in conclusion, I chose to blog about both of these extraordinary topics. I hope you enjoy my insight into these two crucial groups of humanity, and feel free to share your opinions. Do you have any special babies or elderly in your life that are important to you? Any good birth stories? Any questions about the elds that keep you up at night? Do not hesitate to comment below.
