Why I don’t feel bad that Ingrid still wakes up between us every day:

New Caller: This is Ralph. You know I’m an older man, and I’m calling
about the person who called earlier worrying about their baby, that
they didn’t have heat and they were going to try to find a place to
stay. It might be more dangerous in these conditions taking the baby
out. Ask any grandmother, especially one out in the country, and she’ll
tell you all you got do is go to bed with that baby and put the baby in
between you, and that baby won’t even know the heat’s off!

From an article about the ’98 ice storm, in Bangor Metro.  It made me well up a bit (Um, I Held a Baby today and pretty much spontaneously ovulated, oh, and that baby’s mama confessed privately and sheepishly that the reason why he slept so well the night before may have been because "we tried the cosleeping thing" — after three weeks of staying up with the wee babe all night….)

Um, yeah, anyway. I like picturing that old guy out there, listening to the radio and thinking "kids today! I know the answer!" and calling in to broadcast it.
