A Joke

I would give credit for it, but I don’t know where it came from

A couple had a baby and were very happy with their new family.

However, as the child grew, the mother couldn’t help but notice that the boy didn’t resemble anyone in hers or her husband’s family.

Finally, after a few years, she had a DNA test done on the boy, and, sure enough, it proved he was not their son.

She didn’t know how that could have happened and asked her husband if he knew anything about it.

He replied, “Don’t you remember the day we were bringing the baby home from the hospital? You said he needed to be changed, so I went back to the hospital nursery and got a clean one.”

The mother fainted.

My apologies to whoever came up with that one for plagiarizing it, but you have my sincerest admiration.
