The miracle of parenthood is a truly wonderful thing that can even be found in some of the more unexpected places.

For instance, for Twitter user @omophorion a child was found in the form of one water-filled nitrile glove with a drawn-on face.

"Behold," writes omophorion, on the video of the lovely boy being jiggled. "My son."

The boy's name is Leonard and lest you think he is a simple latex glove without any substance, he's got secret dreams and ambitions.

In honor of Leonard's newfound internet fame, omophorion made some lovely art to show off his beautiful face and winsome smile.

Other Twitter users began to share footage of their own glove "children," potential friends for Leonard.

Where was Leonard's location of birth, you might ask? In the most magical of places: a Taco Bell.

A modern fairy tale of changeling children and unexpected parenthood, Leonard's story will inspire all hoping to one day be parents, but not yet ready for the commitment. We hope he grows up strong and achieves his dream of becoming an archaeologist. With the support of his friends, Leonard can do anything.
