Fur Baby
“Oh, so when other people call their pets, ‘fur baby’ it’s fine, but when I call a kid a, ‘skin dog’ somehow I’m ‘disgusting’ and ‘the worst pediatrician in this hospital’?” We don’t see this as an issue. Well, maybe refer to babies as “skin puppies,” that would be more accurate. Or just call them babies in general? It’s a fun joke that ends on a nice twist.
Perhaps referring to infants as “skin dogs” doesn’t look well for a pediatrician who sees children on the regular. But humans call their dogs “fur babies” all the time, so why not go the other way? Lighten up, people! Eh, it’s a joke. And a good one at that. Once again, humor is an important trait to possess, particularly self-humor.
