Grandma C knew that something wasn’t right about what she was looking at. Her daughter is standing there holding her 2-month-old baby. But everything is wrong.
Her daughter’s pants are soaked in urine.
The way she’s talking sounds like someone clamped her tongue, and two-month-old baby Mirabelle is not moving.
