“We understand that babies must be babies but this won’t work with the Christ Child screaming his way through ‘Away in a Manger,'” said Director Mandy Jenners. “You can’t really have a choir gently singing ‘The Little Lord Jesus/No crying He makes’ with the actor throwing a hissie fit in Mary’s arms.”
Jenners said that the decision to relieve little Seth of his responsibilities means that the play’s organizers are under enormous pressure to find a more mature replacement baby. “We’re done working with 3-month-olds,” said Jenners. She made a special appeal to parents of well-adjusted, self-soothing and reverent 6-12 month-olds, asking them to contact the church office immediately.
Jenners added that parents with babies who didn’t even make it through their dedication without tears need not apply.

Remember the old time radio show, “Baby Snooks”? Get a baby like “Baby Snooks”. Stop showing a pix of my grandchild!! I’ll sic him on you!! Waaaaaaaaah, waaaaaaaaah. Woe is me.
Keep in mind that humour is about taking things lightly. We wouldn’t want to take something lightly that should be taken seriously, though. That would be a distortion..
