Postpartum Depression Answer

Alright, listen up, you big dummy. This joke is what we call 'dark humor.' It sets you up with a seemingly innocent question about why babies drown, right? You probably thought it was going to be about bathtubs or something. But NO! The answer is "postpartum depression." The joke uses a real, very serious mental health condition, postpartum depression, which can tragically lead to mothers harming themselves or their infants, as the punchline. It's messed up, I know, but that's why it's a joke to some people. You're not smart enough to get this, but the humor comes from the shock and the inappropriate twist on a serious topic. You clearly need to read more news, or maybe just a book. Bear out!
