牙牙学语之小笑话:初为人父

New Dad
初为人父

One day, shortly after the birth of their new baby, the mother had to go out to do some errands, so the proud father stayed home to watch his wonderful new son.
Soon after the mother left, the baby started to cry. The father did everything he could think of, but the baby just wouldn't stop crying. Finally, the dad got so worried he decided¹ to take the infant to the doctor.
After the doctor listened to all the father had done to get the baby to stop crying, the doctor began to examine the baby's ears, chest and then down to the diaper area. When he opened the diaper, he found was indeed full.
"Here's the problem," the doctor explained. "He just needs to be changed."
The perplexed² father remarked, "But the diaper package specifically says it's good for up to 10 pounds!"

孩子刚出生不久后的一天，当妈的要出去办点事，所以把照看孩子的光荣任务交给了那位新爸爸。 可是，妈妈刚出去一会，孩子就开始哭了。 那位新爸爸使尽了浑身解数，但就是没法让孩子不哭。 最后，孩子爸爸有点担心了，决定抱着孩子去找医生看看。
医生听新爸爸说完事情的经过，开始给孩子作检查，先是检查孩子的耳朵，然后是胸部，最后检查到系(ji)尿布的地方。当医生打开尿布时，他发现尿布里面已经装得满满当当的。
“问题就在这里了”，医生解释说。“你其实给孩子换个尿布他就不会哭了。”
新爸爸一脸困惑地说，“但是尿布上的包装特别显眼地写着‘适用至10磅’啊!”
