A 75-year-old woman had a baby and when she returned from the hospital, her friends visited her to see the new baby.

She invited them in and told them they could see the baby after having a cup of tea. After tea, they asked again, but she fobbed them off by telling them she wanted to talk some more.

Eventually, they got impatient and insisted they see the child, but she told them they would have to wait until the baby cried.

"Why"? they asked.

"Because I've forgotten where I left it!"
