Whoops! We Sent You Home With The Wrong-Gendered Baby

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

One Romanian mother got the shock of her life when she went to change her "daughter's" diaper for the first time...

One of our favorite movies is Once Upon A Time in America, which we saw at a young enough age that, upon watching the scene where De Niro and James Woods switch all the name tags on the babies, we were quite traumatized by the idea of a baby swap. Could we have the wrong parents? Nah-- we share too many of the same genes, like the crazy gene and the utter confusion at anything people say gene.

Anyway, enough about that.

A woman who have birth to a baby girl had the shock of her life when she went home from hospital and changed its nappy for the first time - and discovered bumbling nurses had given her a boy instead.

Cristina Zahariuc, 35, from Horlesti in Iasi county, Romania, said she hadn't suspected a thing because the baby was handed over wearing the clothes she had provided.

"Only when I got home and I invited some friends and the baby's godparents to see her did I notice my girl had an penis. I was paralysed," she said.

Look, everybody! My daughter has an amazing vagina! Uh oh.

"It was very strange though. We were calling the hospital to tell them about the confusion and they were hanging up on us saying we should stop fooling around. They thought we were playing tricks on them," he said.

No, they were afraid of you because of this thing called a "lawsuit," which they surely have coming to them. After all, what if the swapped baby had been a girl? Would Mom have found out? And what about the other family? Certainly, they must be ready to file themselves...

One more thing: we understand names may have gotten swapped if two nurses picked the two babies up to be changed and played baby toss or something, but how did the clothes get swapped?
