My brother, a nursing student, has started to do clinical work this year. Last semester, he did mainly general health courses (learning how to give a physical and whatnot), and this semester deals with more specifics, such as mental health, pediatrics, and pregnancy/childbirth. In the latter class, they recently learned how to bathe and swaddle a newborn.
Keep in mind, before entering the medical field, my brother's only work experience had been working the counter at Dunkin' Donuts. So upon observing how to fold a blanket around a baby, and hearing the professor comment that "it's almost like wrapping a sandwich," he was able to reply, "it's exactly like wrapping a sandwich."
Upon recounting this story to me (and after I stopped laughing), he sighed, hung his head, and remarked, "I'm going to break a baby, I just know it."

Either that or accidentally throw a baby into the toasting machine while trying to milk an English muffin!
