Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall, who's the Happiest One of All?
Well, it’s probably not me, though I’m the right amount of giddy when necessary. But if you are the happiest one of all, “Fab Babies”, the designer baby lab is looking for you! The veteran baby designers have decided that the ability to experience joy is a key factor in being successful, claiming that the optimism which results from the happiness gene is a motivating force and a quality that enhances resilience when facing adversity.
They have therefore decided to find the happiest organic person on the globe, in hopes of finding the purest happy gene humanity has to offer. They will then isolate it and add it to their next batch of designer babies.
The “Fab Lab” believes that parents are more likely to tolerate the company of a happy kid and perhaps teach it more things, which will ultimately benefit all of humanity.
Their latest study also shows that individuals that are more satisfied are less likely to turn into hitmen for hire or professional bank robbers, a realization that would have helped them a bit more before they had created the baby batch of 2150. But you know... The first pancake… Or the first hundred homicidal pancakes…
We hope they are successful in their search, and that these new happy tots make the world a better place or at least rejoice in whatever place it already is.
