A guest post by Bianca Prieto —

 

A 31-year-old woman was summoned home Sunday afternoon when a man reported her child was crying and inconsolable. The woman, who goes by the name Mama, was at a nearby nail salon when the incident occurred. She was mid-pedicure – her first in several months and visibly necessary – when she received the text message.

“Baby crying” was all the man, who goes by Dada, wrote, but it was enough to cause the woman to cancel the second part of her much needed and desired manicure.

Witnesses said the woman was enjoying herself and the precious me-time prior to the news.

“She was just there in the spa chair, nearly passed out,” another patron said. “We worried about whether she was ok, but when the nail tech asked her if she was OK, she just told everyone she was a new mom.”

At the scene, the woman found several toys in the living room and the flustered Dada rocking the child, who had calmed by the time she returned.

The boy who caused the ruckus has been identified as 20-week-old Ben. His monikers include Boogahdah, Baby and “The Cutest Baby in Brooklyn.”

At 8:20 p.m. the woman reported that the child was asleep, but it was too late for her to resume her session at the spa.

“It’s OK. I’ll try again later this week,” Mama said before shushing everyone and shutting off all the lights and closing all the doors in the family’s Brooklyn apartment.

As for Dada, he went back to watching TV and updating his Facebook.
