10．When a first-time father saw his newborn son，he immediately noticed the baby's ears obviously standing out from his head．He expressed his concern to the nurse that some children might tease his child．A doctor examined the baby and reassured the new dad that his son was healthy-the ears presented only a minor problem with its appearance．
But the nervous father persisted．He wondered if the child might suffer psychological effects of ridicule，or if they should consider plastic surgery（整形手术）．The nurse assured him that it was really no problem，and he should just wait to see if the boy grows into his ears．
The father finally felt more optimistic about his child，but now he worried about his wife's reaction to those large ears．She had been delivered by operation，and had not yet seen the child．

By this time，the new mother was settled in the recovery room and ready to meet her new baby．The nurse went along with the dad to lend some support in case this inexperienced mother became upset about her baby's large ears．
