(55) I don't know anything about babies. I mean I know the essentials:(a) Babies cry. It's not like when adults cry. They do it all the time. People see it as normal.
(b) Babies drink their milk out of sucky bottles or breast feed. Not typical for adults.
(c) Babies generally keep their conversations fairly simple. If they can be understood at all.
(d) They have bladder control/bowel control issues. It's everyone else's problem.
But past the essentials, things get a little shaky.
"Oh that's a cute baby!...Oh two-months huh? Wow, so she's probably walking and talking huh? ...No? Oh. Well, I wouldn't worry about it, she'll catch up."
Also when people pass me babies the babies usually start to scream. If I can get them to stop screaming, I usually end up awkwardly holding them like a sack of potatoes/bag of rabid venomous snakes.
