@38:
I don’t usually have the baby=cute reaction either, but this one did make me laugh. I think it was something about the way the adult (dad?) and baby interacted, and the adult was clearly having so much fun himself.

The baby and dad are cute, but the jerboa is AMAZING.

That kid is going to LOVE Xmas crackers when he gets older. I have to vote for the baby, my brain just doesn’t accept that the jerboa isn’t CGI

OMG, laughing babies are the cutest. I have both my babies on video laughing like this, but for some odd reason BOTH my boys get the hiccups from laughing, so each video ends with them hiccuping and throwing up all over themselves. Awesome.

For me, the jerboa wins. I have a bias, though. I don’t seem to have the “baby = OMG cute” response that so many other people have. In fact, I don’t generally think of kids as being cute until they hit at least two years old.

@ Tony: Good point. It is bizarre for me to claim that, should I find a random baby in my house, especially one who seemed to have a magnetic attraction to the silliness of paper, I’d be fine with it.

But that said, what I hoped to suggest is that we put Baby vs. Jerboa to some sort of test, and the Random Appearance in Your House Test is what I came up with.
