The First Time Father

The first time Father was taking a turn at feeding the
baby some strained peas. Naturally, there were traces
of the food everywhere, especially on the infant.

His wife comes in, looks at the infant, then at her husband
staring into space, then says, "What in the world are you
doing?"

He replied, "I'm waiting for the first coat to dry, so I can
put on another."
