"Could you open the gate for me?" Naina looked at the Yellow Cab taxi driver, his eyes complaining of poor sleep. The February chill accompanied by a moonless sky made her shiver as she stood with a Kohl’s poly-bag, trying to balance the ‘things’ inside with one hand and her little baby boy sleeping on her shoulder with another.
“Of course.” The driver spoke in a fake fruity voice, bending backward and opening the rear seat door for her.
“Hi, I can place this bag on the seat, or do you want me to place it in the trunk?”

Doesn't it take 'TWO TO TANGO'?  Giving attention to your boy child is equally important, if not more.
