  2. Perhaps the baby image was included as a graphic illustration of baby fail.

    What made me think of this was that I didn't sleep last night, and so I googled at about 4 am, "why can't I sleep!?"-- the only hits I got were about "why can't 'babby' sleep in xxx place"... I swear. It was why can't 'babby' sleep in car! why can't 'babby' sleep at night? why is 'babby' loud? it got me to thinking that definitely your assessment is right-- parents must, even if they hide it, be miserable 90% of the time! nobody googles "it's great, babby and i stay up watching letterman together nightly" or "babby screams sounds like mozart? where to get recording to use at work?"
