It’s not because I’m not old enough; several of my high school buddies have grandkids. However, I got a bit of a late start and my oldest is just 15, and that is not old enough to be a parent. But he just recently became a father. Devin brought the baby, whom he named Gage, home the Friday before Mother’s Day and he had the baby all weekend. Wait. Before you go jumping to conclusions, let me explain. Devin is in 9th grade and as an assignment for his Teen Living class, each student had to take care of a baby for a weekend. I remember when my niece was in high school, she had a similar assignment, but instead of a baby, she had to care for an egg. Each student had to pack an egg around with them for a week, without breaking it. If the egg broke during the week, you flunked parenthood. But times have changed. Instead of an egg, Devin brought home a baby. OK, it was a doll. But it was a fairly life-like bundle. Wrapped in its blue blankie and tucked in the baby carrier, it looked like the real McCoy. It felt like a baby when you picked it up and its head wobbled if you didn’t support it. It sounded like a real baby when it cried. And cry it did. The little anatomically correct bundle was programmed to cry at random. Like a real baby, it would cry when it was hungry. It would cry when it needed its diaper changed. It would cry when it wanted to be held, or when it wanted to be put down. It cried if it needed to be burped. It made little sucking noises when it ate, and it gooed when it was happy. The baby came with two diapers and a bottle that were magnetized so the baby could tell when its diaper was changed, or when it was being fed. Devin wore a magnetized wristband that let the baby know it was daddy. From after school on Friday to Sunday night at 9:00 Devin was the dad and the computerized tot kept track of what he did, or didn’t do as a parent. The baby would report to the teacher if it had to wait to be fed or changed, if it wasn’t burped enough, or if it had been shaken. It was like having a baby in the house. The baby would cry and Devin would jump up to see what was wrong. He’d try the bottle. He’d change the diaper. He’d pick up the baby and bounce it around and pat its back. Sometimes it would stop crying. Sometimes it wouldn’t. “I don’t know what’s wrong!” Devin said in frustration at one point. “I’ve tried everything. He won’t eat, so he’s not hungry. I changed his diaper. That didn’t work.” Then he rolled his eyes and said “Mom, he won’t tell me what’s wrong.” “No!” I said. “Imagine that!” Saturday morning when Devin dragged himself upstairs, baby in tow, I asked how he’d slept. “The baby cried half the night! I was up at midnight, at two, and three-thirty! Neither of us got much sleep.” “No!” I said. “Imagine that!” Later that afternoon I was “watching the baby” while Devin helped Kraig in the yard. The baby cried and when I picked it up I let it’s head fall back. It started to scream. Not just the little “I’m hungry or maybe need a diaper change” cry. It was an “I’m hurt!” cry. Devin came racing in from the back yard. “What did you do? You let his head wobble, didn’t you! Mom! You can’t let his head wobble!” he said as he took the baby from me and tried to settle him down. (For a fleeting moment I wondered how either of my boys ever survived infant-hood.) Sunday morning, after another long night of little sleep, Devin commented that being a parent was no picnic. I agreed and pointed out that he didn’t have to deal with wet diapers and major blowouts, diaper rash or spit-up. “This is cake to the real deal!” Since it was Mother’s Day we planned to go out to dinner. “What will I do with the baby? I can’t take him with us!” Devin said. “You could get a sitter,” I suggested. “Like that’s gonna happen!” he said as he rolled his eyes. We ended up taking the baby with us. As we climbed out of the car, Devin said “Here mom. You carry the baby.” I just shook my head and said, “He’s not my baby, Devin. He’s your responsibility,” and I laughed at Devin’s horrified look as we walked in the restaurant. Of course, he got some stares and there were some chuckles when people realized it was a doll. “I remember that assignment,” the waitress said when she took our orders. Sunday night, when the baby turned off and no longer gurgled and cooed or cried, I asked Devin what he thought. He said it was harder than he thought it would be. “Babies are hard work!” and he didn’t want to be a parent for a long, long time. YESS!!! I thought loudly! “I don’t want to be a grandma any time soon, either!” I said, giving him a hug and thought, what a great learning experience!
