Isn't it strange how a small little baby, even though defenseless and barely able to move her own head, can really move maintains. Get into a family gathering and no matter how many people there are, somehow everyone revolves around the little baby. It's like they were created with some special powers over us adults.
It reminds me of a Hindu mythological tale about lord Shiva and his consort and wife Parvati.
Once Parvati was furious and her anger was burning the world. All the gods tried all measures to pacify her but failed. They finally went up to Shiva to plead him to calm her down. Lord Shiva knew if he were to get in front of Parvati in her rage, he'll be burnt to ashes as well. So, he assumed the form of a defenseless, powerless, small baby and appeared in front of Parvati. On seeing the baby crying, her rage was instantly extinguished and she ran to comfort and love the crying baby.
