It's probably because I'm a baby.  That aside, I enjoyed trying to find the correct timing on the drops, but that baby hitting the pavement sound hurts me so much ahah!   The game was compelling for me to keep retrying.  But I couldn't win.  I might say, the only thing that is a little odd is I guess dropping the baby on the road is the same punishment as dropping him off to a kidnapper.  I suppose the question is why have both?
