<div>During the New Zealand winter of 1995, a happy couple walked into a local retailer in the city of Christchurch. 

After browsing the aisles, they found a brand new high chair and made a small down payment to place it on layaway. It would still be some months before they needed it, as the woman had just discovered she was pregnant a few days prior. 

Within weeks, the man who’d been with her called the store to cancel the order…Sadly, he explained, the high chair was no longer needed.
