  From a Facebook thread under the heading -- Husbands' and Wives' Jokes

   After 10 years, the wife starts to think their kid looks kinda strange so she decides to do a DNA test.
  She finds out that the kid is actually from completely different parents.
Wife: Honey, I have something very serious to tell you.
Husband: What’s up?
Wife: According to DNA test results, this is not our kid.
Husband: Well you don't remember, do you??
   When we were leaving the hospital, we noticed that our baby had pooped.
   Then you said:
 - Please go change the baby, I’ll wait for you here.
   So I went inside, got a clean one and left the dirty one there.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
KG ===> This is really really serious.  I could not laugh but be sad. But, being it is a joke    ... why not I chuckled a bit.
GB ===> Very funny! Thanks for the laughter!
EM ===> Well....... He is done.
BZ ===> Omg ....this is not funny even if it is joke!

Hénock Gugsa ===> This is hilarious ! What is there to be serious about ? A baby is a baby  ... is it any more special than another ?

KG ===>  If you do not mind raising somebody else's child of course not ....

Hénock Gugsa ===> KG -- In the final analysis, it's how a child is raised that matters. Babies are like clean slates. Some great personalities started out as orphans or babies given up for adoption. And then, of-course, there is no iron-clad guarantee that real (natural or blood) parents will automatically love and bond with a child. እንዴ የባዳ ልጅ ይወደዳል አይደል አንዳንዴ ? የክርስትና ልጅም ከራስ ልጅ እኩል ወይም የበላይ የሚታይበት ጊዜ አለ ።

KG ===> Hénock Gugsa -- yehe k[l]ej yetewisedew ke hospital new eko. Yerasun kej kezen netreg aketote yelela sew lij yezo temelese.. bakebeteh yanten lij lewita betmeta behetsanenetu tej[k]ebekeh setasadig noreh yante lij aydelem betebale [gize] men yisemahal. [sic]  [Apparently no access to the Amharic alphabet font !]

Hénock Gugsa ===> KG -- ታድያ በዛች ሰዓት ልጁን እርግፍ አድርጌ እጥለዋለሁ ማለት ነው እንዴ ？ ምንም ቢሆን ፥ ምንም ቢሆን ያው ልጄ ነው ። እርግጥ ሕግ ወይም መንግስት ወይም ዘመዶች እና ማህበረ ሰቡ (society) ላይስማሙኝ ይችላሉ ። ግን የልጁን መውደድ ከመቅስፈት ሊያጠፉት አይችሉም ፣ የራሴንም ልጅ እንኳን ቢመልሱልኝም እንደ አዲስ ሀ ብዬ ነው ላፈቅረው የምጀምረው ! በነገራችን ላይ ባዳ （stranger) የሚባለው ቃል እና ሃሳብ (concept) ዋጋ የለውም !  It's nonsense ! ለመሆኑ ባዳ አይተን ፥ ወደን ፥ አግብተን ዘመድ እናደርጋለን አይደለም እንዴ ?  በሕግም በሃይማኖትም ከስጋ ዘመድ መውለድ ክልክል (taboo) ነው !  On the other hand, when you think about it, the child we make with a stranger is actually half a stranger too !
