Funny article in TIME

You know it's not my favorite publication, but I was amused and pleasantly surprised to read this well-written article in TIME by a new dad whose wife decided she wanted to have her placenta encapsulated. One of my favorite lines: "For those of you who have never seen one, the placenta is to the baby what Stephen Baldwin is to Alec Baldwin."

Hahaha. Great article that should be passed to Tom Cruise in case he wants to offer alternative treatments for post-partum depression. My personal favorite: "...she brought her own equipment, gloves, sponges and even more detergent than I'd hoped, scrubbing constantly as she worked. If I ever kill a man in my own home, I am totally calling the placenta lady." I couldn’t help but channel her into the Wolf in Pulp Fiction, solemnly declaring “I’m the Placenta Lady. I solve problems” … while hosing down John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson in their birthday suits, ironically. Somethin’s funny, you oughta laugh. Thanks for sharing.
