    Those were very fun.

    Although I did get a certain twinge of concern, because the “evil look” kid did seem to be being treated more like a performing animal than a young human being.

    SnowdropExplodes, didn’t your folks ever show you off in weird ways? My mother taught us all “What does a fishie say?” and it was hilarious. We weren’t damaged in any way.

    And all of those kids are adorable! I like little bity baby especially.

    No way; the little kid was clearly relishing the attention and the way he could make the grown-ups laugh. I have no doubt that when he got tired of it, the people who were telling him to do it would then say something like, “Oh, he’s tired now” and would help him shift his focus to something else. That’s a happy kid; kids aren’t happy like that if their parents don’t treat them like little humans.

    Um, kid? You stick your finger in Charlie’s mouth, and he’s likely going to bite you. Although he’ll do it adorably of course.

    OMFG. “Chahlie’s” brother has so much more restraint than I do…

    Well, actually, I don’t know if “restraint” is the right word there. He did stick his finger in the mouth that had previously bit him.

    I remember the moment I went from “God, I am NEVER having kids!” to “Must.Have.Babies”

    I was riding the Brussels Metro with a friend from my university, and a bunch of five-year-old Scouts got on the train. They were obviously coming back from a camping trip, because they had miniature camping backpacks on. When the train stopped, they all teetered and wobbled forward, each one grabbing on to the next for support. They were all giggling, too, and jabbering in Flemish.

    OMG, even the memory is cute.

    At any rate, my friend and I turned to look at each other with shocked looks and we knew we were both thinking the same thing.

    As someone who has spent the past two days caring for a sick toddler, and has been thrown up on several times in the process, I say:

    Careful!

    Of course, as soon as I typed that she said “Uff oo mama!” and gave me a hug.

    Still, remember. Even the cute ones vomit on you from time to time.

    And let’s not forget: children do other things that may bother you, like, oh I don’t know, GROW INTO TEENAGERS and ADULTS.

    Everytime I hear someone say they want to “have a baby” I start to worry about the range of their intellect. Because you’re not technically having a baby, you’re a having a human being who is going to be an infant for a small fraction of its life. Get it?

    My sons and husband are off camping with the Webelos* this weekend. This reminds me of how much I miss them. Ahhhhh.

    *I realize there are issues with the Boy Scouts.

    Hold the phone, Marksman! For real? Kids GROW? WTF?

    I am so, SO glad you came to spell this out for us! I honestly had no idea humans often mature and develop. All along I’ve been assuming the babies stay little for ever! NO WAY.

    You are SO right to point this out to us. Because stupid careless women (and men) are always rushing into “having babies” and they NEVER consider the 18+ years following birth. We really need some patronising scolding to remind future parents about the basics of human development. Thanks!

    (Oh, and by the way – people refer to “having a baby” because that’s what they ARE “technically” having. A freaking baby.)

    Why didn’t someone tell me babies grow? Can I trade them in or something? They don’t fit in the dresser drawers any more.
