Don't Tell Me We Didn't Evolve

This story goes back over 40 years ago. My foreign bride and I moved into a large apartment project. I was going to school on the GI Bill and working part time. My wife was homesick and lonely, so she put up a "baby sitter available" on the bulletin board. She got a call a few hours later. The lady had a little girl about a year old.

The next morning she dropped off the baby along with bags of diapers and baby food. She was a beautiful happy baby. Everything went well until it became obvious that the baby needed her diaper changed. My wife removed the full body suit and lay the baby on a towel. She removed the diaper and gasped with horror. The baby's bottom was exactly like the bottom of a chimpanzee. The skin was grey and wrinkled. My wife didn't know what to do. She called me at work and I drove home immediately.

I could't believe what I saw. I stayed there until the mother showed up. I expressed my displeasure that she had left the baby and not warned my wife . She acted like it was no big deal and that the defect would be corrected with plastic surgery when the baby got older. We never saw the lady or baby again. Years later someone told me that sometime babies are born with tails.
