What is it about babies that makes people become pseudo-cannibals? I mean, when some folks see a baby, it’s all goo goo and ga ga noises and phrases like, “I could just eat you up!” and “Let me nibble on those fingers!” and “Look at that widdle leg – makes me want to just eat it like a drumstick!” Seriously? This is acceptable conversation with a newborn? Oh, they say the wee ones don’t understand, that the infant brain isn’t developed enough to know what is being said, but I think they DO get it and I think that’s why everything is just so screwed up. I mean it’s one of two scenarios in play here – either Jonathan Swift was onto something or the human race is just eternally clawing its way out of a bottomless pit of dysfunction.
Pass the salt.
