The New York Times Crossword Puzzle, January 13, 2008
For today's post, go to The New York Times Crossword in Gothic --

Parents of babies never get enough sleep. According to the inventor; "it is sometimes difficult for the infant to fall asleep, and the parent must resort to patting the baby to sleep by repeated pats upon the hind parts thereof". That's right, "hind parts thereof" to the inventor, "baby's butt" to you and me. When baby's awake, a parent is awake...that is until now. With the motorized Baby Patter, parents can go back to sleep and let the mechanized robot arm comfort Junior back to sleep with a periodic patting on the rump. It looks like you need to line Junior up just right to get the proper pat and one thing we don't see is a timer. So lets hope he doesn't turn around in his sleep because Mom was right, you could poke an eye out with that thing!
