While you work your way through your Christmas leftovers and try to get to Macy Field's to exchange those gifts you don't want, here's a video that, in some neighborhoods, could be construed as child abuse, depending on your baseball allegiance. It also serves as proof that, in Chicago, the first thing a baby does after being smacked on the ass by the doctor is choose between the Cubs and White Sox.

Watch as this White Sox-loving six-year-old named Mya nearly loses her shit as her mother decides to have some fun with her and "gift" Mya with a Cubs pillow intended for her brother Izaiah. Don't worry. Mya's mom manages to turn her daughter's frown upside down with her own White Sox pillow. Hug it tight, Mya; it's gonna be a long 2012 at 35th and Shields.
