Clarification and Amplification

Hundreds have written in to ask whether this photo misleadingly suggests that it was dad who took the laboring oar, so to speak, during Polly's delivery, and that it was he who was primarily responsible for Polly's non-uterine existence.

Reportorial accuracy is Polly's middle name. [No it isn't. -ed.] For that reason, PollyBlog is republishing the original photo (above) as it appeared prior to the normal and customary retouching that occurs during the editorial and production processes. PollyBlog apologizes for any confusion.
