Childbirth at 65 With all the new technology regarding fertility recently, a 65-year-old friend of mine was able to give birth. When she was discharged from the hospital and went home, I went to visit. ‘May I see the new baby?’ I asked. ’Not yet,’ She said ‘I’ll make coffee and we can sit for a while first..’ Thirty minutes had passed, and I asked, ‘May I see the new baby now?’ ’No, not yet,’ She said. After another few minutes had elapsed, I asked again, ‘May I see the baby now?’ ’No, not yet,’ replied the newly minted mommy.. Growing very impatient, I asked, ‘Well, when can I see the baby?’ ’WHEN HE CRIES!’ she told me. ’WHEN HE CRIES?’ I demanded. ‘For God’s sake why do I have to wait until he CRIES?’ ‘BECAUSE I FORGOT WHERE I PUT HIM…. O.K.?’
