Cutsie Wootsie

I have a real aversion to adults talking 'baby-talk' to each other. It makes me sweat and break out in a rash. I must be allergic. If it's in the privacy of your own home, well that's fine-- but in public..

This morning I heard a grown woman speaking to her husband on the telephone. What I heard was this:

-Hawouw (translation-hello)

-it cowld (it's cold)

-wuv yooo (i love you)

-bouy bouy (i'm a moron)

Sorry if you, valued reader, are a baby-talker yourself, I have nothing against you personally. But seriously, what is your problem?

rofl...I am so with you on that one Ben.

And a word to any prospective suitors: if there's even a hint of baby talk, my radar will pick it up and sound the early warning system. Abort! Abort!
