First Souvenirs

Today, I got back from a work conference in Las Vegas, where I had been all week.  As is my custom when I have to be away from home, I always try to pick up something for my wife.  It’s usually a large coffee mug with some unique design from the place I’m visiting, since she collects them.  But this trip, I wanted to get something else for the baby as well.  Something small, but something to let it know that I was thinking about it, even as it slept comfortably in its mother’s belly.  So, I found some funny baby bibs that also had “Las Vegas” scrolled across the bottom, almost as an after-thought.  They were perfect, because they were small and light-weight, so they wouldn’t take up a lot of room in my carry-on.  The first one said, “These Fools Put My Cape on Backwards.”  The second one said, “Spit Happens.”
