of ... the Long
Good-bye

Elena Ross and her husband, Hwang Chen, were delighted to
resume their pre-baby custom of going out for Sunday brunch.
A friend of Elena’s who had just returned to the area had proposed
a childcare swap: She would look after the Ross-Chen's 8-month-
old daughter, Hannah, and they would look after her son Greg,
age 2, alternating Sundays.
Greg was easy. He asked a lot of delightful questions and he
played nicely around Hannah, often making the baby laugh. Elena
and Hwang smiled, anticipating the upcoming Sundays of newspa-
pers and chat over omelets at their favorite restaurant. But when
Elena placed Hannah in her friend's arms that first Sunday, the
baby's face crumpled. Startled, Elena watched as Hannah began
to cry, then howl. Her friend cuddled the baby, smiling and cooing
into the tearful face, but Hannah’s howls escalated. Finally, Elena
took her daughter and went to a quiet room to nurse her. Hannah
calmed immediately and nursed contentedly. But when Elena tried
again to give Hannah to her friend, the baby resumed fussing. “Just
go," her friend advised. "She’ll calm down as soon as you're gone."
Uncertain whether she should leave, Elena was finally convinced
by Hwang to go. “I’m sure she’ll stop crying," he said. But when
the couple returned two hours later, Hannah was still howling, and
her friend, though cheerful, was clearly exhausted.
The Hwang-Chens tried twice more to leave Hannah with
Elena's friend, but each time the baby sobbed, only breaking into
a wispy smile at her mother's return. They finally had to give up
the arrangement. Sunday brunch just wasn't going to happen.
