Barry, a proud, expecting father, imagines his soon-to-be first daughter in glowing terms: "She'll be gorgeous, I just know it. Glowing skin, pretty brown eyes, beautifully shaped head, well-proportioned body"
It's your job to tell Barry what a newborn is really like. What do you say?
What will be an ideal response?
Students' answers will vary, but their descriptions should include the facts that newborns' heads are usually very large in relation to their bodies and their skulls are frequently misshapen as a result of being squeezed during the birth process. Their skin may still have remnants of vernix caseosa, which is the white, cheesy coating that protects the skin before birth, so their skin may not, in fact, be "glowing." Newborns can turn their heads and eyes toward voices, and they can see to some extent, so Barry might be able to observe the "pretty brown eyes."
