Baby Showers

I went to a baby shower yesterday and it was very disappointing. No babies were showered and we didn't even get to dump water on the pregnant lady. Why would they call it a baby shower if we don't get to put a bunch of babies in a shower and dump water on them? I'm told it's called that because you "shower" the pregnant lady with gifts, but that's not how showers work. It would be pretty painful if presents came out of the shower head and hit you while you tried to wash. 1/10 would not baby shower again.
