How Do Babies Know?

"Congratulations"

My father, an Army major, was conducting a field
test when communications went dead. Immediately,
he jumped into a jeep and ordered a sergeant to
speed to the command station.

When my father and the sergeant ran in, the group
cheered their arrival. The commanding officer then
stepped forward and shook my father's hand.

"Don't congratulate me, sir," my father said modestly
as he pointed to his driver. "It was all the sergeant's
doing."

The commanding officer nodded and turned to the
sergeant. "Congratulations," he said. "The major's
wife just had a baby girl."

"How Do Babies Know?"

Two babies were sat in their cribs, when one baby
shouted to the other, "Are you a little girl or a little boy?"

"I don't know," replied the other baby giggling.

"What do you mean, you don't know?" said the first
baby.

"I mean I don't know how to tell the difference," was
the reply.

"Well, I do," said the first baby chuckling. "I'll climb into
your crib and find out."

He carefully maneuvered himself into the other baby's
crib, then quickly disappeared beneath the blankets.
After a couple of minutes, he resurfaced with a big grin
on his face. "You're a little girl, and I'm a little boy," he
said proudly.

"You're ever so clever," cooed the baby girl, "but how
can you tell?"

"It's quite easy really," replied the baby boy, "you've got
pink booties and I've got blue ones."
