Joke

Wearing a feathered hat and carrying a shiny handbag, a woman was ready to leave for a wedding when she had to change her baby's diaper. To her surprise, this was accomplished without the usual wriggling and crying. The child seemed hypnotized by her new hat and bag.

One night the baby became restless because his diaper needed changing. Anxious not to wake her husband, she remembered the effect of the new hat and bag. She donned the hat and put the bag on her arm but to no avail. The baby continued to yell in his usual hearty fashion.

Her husband sat up in bed, saw her dressed in shortie pajamas, hat and bag and said, "Good grief, woman, no wonder the child is screaming."
