Diaper Change #14 - Clump of Cells?

A Note About Diaper Changes

A mother isn’t bothered by a messy diaper or a child covered in vomit. We clean them off, sometimes singing to them or tickling them along the way and then we send them off to play.

As such a mom, I’m treating each Vulgar Buzz Original (VBO) as a child with a dirty diaper. I’m not bothered much by its stench and refuse to ignore the child because it is smelly or in this case, uttering crass vulgarities under dire duress. By the way, VBOs are also known as WWMSU's (What Would Michelle Say in Utero?) to honor our often referenced and Darling Derry Girl.

Classic na-na-na-na-boo-boo logic from the mind of a fetus. The logic is firm. We are all clumps of cells when you think about it. But unlike the strict brain-dead materialists so common to our era, most humans believe we are more than a bunch of atoms, quarks and gluons. We know it in our bones that we are some sort of mysterious combination of body and soul, hybrids as it were and that makes us unique on this planet anyway.

It was pretty easy to find the image used by The Vulgar Buzz and then copy the style with InDesign to make the more civil language version above. It isn't important which image helps a person make a better choice, it only matters that the message hits home before it is too late for the most vulnerable humans in the world.
