The Object Of My Affection

(My sister-in-law has recently had a baby boy, and I’ve come over to see him and chat with his mother for a bit. At one point while she holds him, he starts to cry. She starts to get up to get a clean diaper.)

Sister-In-Law: “Here, hold this.” *passes me the baby*

Me: *taking the baby* “Did you just say ‘here, hold this’ about your son?”

Sister-In-Law: “Oh, yeah, I do that a lot. I just can’t get out of the habit of saying it!”
