He is walking down the steps to the sidewalk. On his back is a pack containing

  • three diapers,
  • a changing mat,
  • hand sanitizer,
  • a tube of diaper rash ointment,
  • a bottle with six ounces of formula,
  • two rice crackers,
  • a bib,
  • a hat,
  • sunscreen,
  • a rubber ball, and
  • a small rubber giraffe.

On his chest is an 11-month-old boy. In his head is, to the tune of a popular insurance company jingle: “we are parents, bum bah dum bah bum bum bum.”
