On an average day in the US, about 10,000 babies are born. Yes, ten thousand. That’s a small town’s worth of crying, grasping, and looking vaguely like a grumpy potato.
To put that in perspective, that’s a new human every 8.6 seconds. By the time you finish reading this sentence, roughly three more people have entered the world, ready to demand snacks and refuse to sleep through the night.
If You Made a Baby Parade…
Imagine all those newborns lined up. If you laid them head-to-toe, they’d stretch for about 11 miles every day. That’s longer than a traffic jam on the way to the beach—only much louder and with less honking.
Also, if those 10,000 babies were placed in a giant baby-themed stadium, it would fill more than two Super Bowl crowds. And they’d all be crying for snacks at halftime. Talk about a halftime show you can’t ignore.
