“We had a very sweet blonde-haired, blue-eyed mom and dad along with their entire extended family in the room for a delivery one busy afternoon at work (think aunts, uncles, cousins, grandma and grandpa too). The baby is born, and as the doctor places her on the mom’s chest, the first words out of her mouth are, ‘That’s not my baby! That’s not my baby!'”
“The baby in question, still attached at the umbilical cord, has beautiful dark curly hair, and dark skin. The nurse looks at her and tells her that this is definitely her baby because, ‘she’s still attached to you,’ and she, not so quietly, tells the nurse, ‘There’s no way, I never slept with a Black man! It’s not mine!’
The ‘father’ is standing there silent, not sure what to do. A long, awkward silence fills the room.
We clean her and the baby up as cheerfully as we can. We see the extended family filter out of the room and the ‘father’ leave to get a cigarette. About ten minutes later a tall Black man walks up to our front desk asking how to get to the patient in question’s room.”
