Someone ate the baby it's rather sad to say
Someone ate the baby so she won't be out to play
We'll never hear her whiny cry
or have to feel if she is dry
We'll never hear her asking, "Why, why, why?"

Someone ate the baby.
Someone ate the baby it's absolutely clear
Someone ate the baby 'cause the baby isn't here
We'll give away her toys and clothes
We'll never have to wipe her nose
Dad says, "That's the way it goes."

Someone ate the baby.
Someone ate the baby, what a frightful thing to eat
Someone ate the baby, though she wasn't very sweet
It was a heartless thing to do
The policemen haven't got a clue
I simply can't imagine who would go and (burp) eat the baby.

With the sound of ripping skin and crying mothers, the shroud between lands tore open, and the White Widow slipped out. Her girlish faith had long since eroded away, but in that moment she knew that God had a sense of irony. Why else would the dead spit her out into a birthing ward? Why else would the fresh-born blood of babes be laid out to sate her hunger? Her skin, ash-white and wrinkled from the rigors of walking among the shades, flushed for a sweet second as the hot vitae of the first infant passed her lips. The screaming of children, mothers, nurses and others was like sweet music to her dry, cracked ears. But the hunger never ended.

The most valuable commodity is another Kindred, immobilized with a stake through the heart and ready for diablerie. A Cainite is a bulky thing to lug about, but some enterprising and ruthless Kindred find a more convenient form: an Embraced and staked child — or even a toddler — which immediately becomes known as the "baby on a stick."

We've got a baby, we can feast
We can dine three days at least
Baby blood and baby bones
Baby butter for the baby scones
Little baby feets, little baby toes
Ev'ry one of us wants the nose
Baby's had such very bad luck
Now into baby, we will tuck!
Eat the baby, add some salt
Bay leaves, barley, powdered malt
Now baby's salted, she's a treat
Her destiny, it's time to meet
Baby we need
Baby we feed
Eat with our teeth
Better than beef
Baby so soft
Carried aloft
Big brown eyes
Caramelise!

Nott (a goblin): Everything you've heard about goblins is true, they're just awful, in every way.
Jester: Well, my mom used to tell me that if you act up too much then the goblins will come in the middle of the night and steal you away.
Caleb: My father too, used to tell me they would steal children.
Nott: All right, so that's true, but it doesn't really matter if you were good or bad, we will just come and steal you if you were a child anyway.
Jester: And would you eat — because my mom said you would eat them!
Nott: Take it easy. We would share with the rest of the clan, but of course we would eat children.
Caleb: Excuse me, Nott, are you taking the piss right now?
Nott: I'm really not, goblins are terrible, terrible creatures!
Jester: Did you ever eat a little child, Nott?
Nott: With great honesty I can tell you that I've never eaten a child.
[later that session, in private with Caleb]
Nott: I tasted a baby once. Just once. I didn't know, they were just handing around a bowl, I didn't know what was in it, and then later, somebody said...
Caleb: [takes a long drink from a flask]
Nott: I mean they put a bunch of meat in there, how was I supposed to know that it was like a goulash-y thing?
Caleb: Who are we to judge?
