I read an article once about this guy who would borrow a baby to take to these hippie outdoorsy events that Nairobians love to love for the sake of adding onto their photo collections. So the guy’s plan was to entice the hot mamas in attendance with the foolproof swoon-inspiring concept of hot dude with baby.

To be fair, seeing a good-looking, hopefully well-built man carrying a cute chubby toddler can make a woman’s ovaries explode. You know what’s better looking than Bien-aime? Bien-aime holding the baby he and I will have, fingers crossed. However, the double standard in this story would be that if a woman was to do the same-take a baby to an event-she might as well carry a placard saying she’s a Category 6 hurricane. All the men would evacuate.
