Manicotti Stuffing vs. Baby Stuffing

While stuffing manicotti with ricotta, I thought about how much it's like feeding a baby.
a) It's messy.
b) It takes forever.
c) It involves spinach.
d) You begin to feel a strange animosity for the rest of the world.
e) You mutter things like "Come on," "Hurry up," and "It's not that bad," under your breath.
f) You make funny faces even though you know it doesn't help anything.
g) You can only put a tiny bit on the fork or it'll all come back out.
h) You get more on yourself and the outside of it than on the inside of it.
i) You have a vague worry that neither you or it are going to look very nice afterwards.
j) You find food in weird places afterwards.
k) If you aren't good at it, the stuffing/food will come out the other end before you're done.
l) You really want to wash your hands after every bite, but know it won't do much good.
m) Everyone is glad they don't have your job.
n) You wonder why there isn't a better way of doing this.

There are, of course, some very big differences.

a) After you finish feeding a baby, you don't stick in in a pan filled with pasta sauce next to a whole bunch of other full babies.
b) When pick a baby up, you don't have to worry about splitting in in half. Not generally, anyway.
c) You don't think about how this is all going to be worth it in a few hours because it's going to taste good.
d) You can't (unless you're really strong or really angry) stick your fork through the baby's head.
e) There is a lot of pasta sauce and cheese involved.
f) You don't usually have to hold the baby way up in the air.
g) Mancotti doesn't care if what's going in it tastes good.
h) People don't ask you when the baby is done eating because they're hungry.

I guess that's all.
