  It’s also funny if you just read the first line (like I did): Jamie Lynn’s baby has full head. Or at least I find that funny.

  It says “full head of hair, daddy’s toes”. The COMMA in the middle of the sentence is meant to give pause. Did you not learn that in elementary school?

  I’m a little late to this party, but in headline writing, the comma is used for the word “and.” So it’s “…full head of hair and daddy’s toes.” It took me a minute to realize why this would be misinterpreted, since I automatically read headlines ‘journalism’ style.
