Outta balls? Throw the baby!
Safest place for it, maybe?
Alright, I’ll bite. That baby is perfectly fine and probably enjoying watching their mom Do Things (babies love this for some reason). Obviously not the safest being where you could drop a skeeball on them, but Mom is very aware of that I’m sure. Laying face up on the ground is actually safer than trying to precariously hold them and risking dropping them.
That baby is most certainly not fine! Clearly you have never played skee ball. It is not uncommon for the ball to come back down the ramp or for you to drop one on the floor
Skill issue
Right?
My concern is the cleanliness of that patch of floor though.
For sure. No way I’m putting my kid on the floor at Chuck E Cheese. Just asking for the plague at that point.
Kids build their immune systems with dirt.
…maybe it’s just the shows I’ve been too, but a baby in the ground (not even getting into the fucking LACK IF HEARING PROTECTION ON THE KIDS EARS) is just asking to get the kid trampled ☹️
Right? Expose your baby to quality music, like Lorna Shore.
With good ear protection though, or the pain will remain.
That’s moronic, not gonna lie, but I just want to say, man, being the first one in my friend group to have had a kid, it was bonkers what I was invited to, with all seriousness. Concerts, house parties, clubs,… When I pointed out I have a 3 week old baby it was “just leave it with their dad for the night!” When I told them it was a fully breastfed baby it was “oh then just bring the baby! It’ll be fun!” When I tried to point out that I am exhausted, recovering, and am using any minute that I don’t tender to the baby to sleep - as did my partner - I got “oh wow I thought they mostly sleep lol, well ok then maybe next week at that other house party at the other end of the city? It will be full of people you don’t know and it starts at 10 pm, there will be beer but you can bring some hard liquor!”
So, to heavily play devil’s advocate, maybe these are new parents that were pressured into being cool and staying the same despite having a baby… By outsiders or by themselves.
Would you prefer they do the opposite?
The second I had kids, nobody invited me to anything - even things I could do with a baby like a barbecue in the park.
“Don’t invite Troubador, he has a newborn, toddler… Who?”
Concert. Baby. Irreparable hearing damage.

And the baby is on the floor because…?
I mean, same. Skeeball is the shit
Look when I take a date to an arcade, she better appreciate skeeball.
Skeeball is like THE arcade game of arcade games. Because after a few rounds it starts to click. And you got your rhythm and your throw. But every slight deviation you get a different result. I love it.
Is that a werewolf or beaver to their left?
Furry.
Im pretty sure thats a child. Easy mistake.
That’s the father
That’s the mother.
The dreaded were-beav!
It’s a weaver! No, wait, that one works…

I’ve seen a number of comments coming in defense of the mother but I didn’t read the OP as a critique in the first place.
The caption is just a funny “rationalization” for the scenario we’re seeing.
