Mother: Well, it’s just a start. We have a lot of decorating to do to make it just right.
The grandmother gestures toward the crib.Grandmother: It’s perfect! And you already have the crib.
The mother and grandmother continue talking.Mother: Mom, this is important. You’ve heard of SIDS, right?

Grandmother: Oh, yes. That’s when a baby dies unexpectedly during sleep and doctors can’t find an explanation.

Mother: Right. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
