Mulla’s Baby

Written story
Mulla was trying to quiet his crying baby, bouncing him on his lap and singing lullabies, when suddenly the baby peed all over him. Disgusted and annoyed, Mulla splashed a handful of cold water right back onto the baby. His wife ran in. "What on earth are you doing?!" Mulla said, "He should be thanking his lucky stars he's my kid. If he was a stranger's baby, I would've thrown him straight into the fountain!"
