What babies are really saying
I recently discovered this guy’s YouTube channel. You may not find this stuff funny, but it cracks me up every time:

Cute. The darker side of this very same topic: The Small Assassin by Ray Bradbury. Unforgettable short story.

The truth: it doesn’t matter who ‘wears the pants’ in a family, it’s the one who wears the diapers who calls the shots.
My distrust of babies has been vindicated.
Dogs talk too, though they’re more understandable.

The Simpsons (of course) did an episode like this. Danny Devito invents a baby translator. Very clever episode, unfortunately the only clip I could find on youtube has a weird echo.
Beautiful kid. I haven’t held a child like that in years, and man do I miss it.
Library nerd: Give yourself 100 points.

Estoy: someone else said that a long time ago, I can’t remember where I saw it, though.
“Thank you for watchin’
Please subscribe”.
No thanks.
Cute ending, very cute baby. Hope lots of folks watch him.
Fine 1 min worth of watching but it takes 3 min.
Babies are cute – I love ’em. Had 4. One’s married already, we’re waiting for grandkids (but no rush).
Their 17 year old cousin died in Feb, just before the funeral restrictions from COVID. Very sad. Babka (grandma in Slovak) went from 7 grandkids to 6.
Black Lives Matter. Really.
All Lives Matter.
Black pre-born Lives Matter.
Human Lives Matter.
Life is precious.
“… you don’t know what you got ’till it’s gone.”
Rich folk, and our society is full of them, don’t know how to be grateful.
I pray more remember to be grateful.
The darker side of this very same topic: The Small Assassin by Ray Bradbury. Unforgettable short story.
Eva Marie: Thanks for the Bradbury thumbs-up!
He wrote some indelible stories in his early days. One of them, “The Foghorn,” caught John Huston’s attention which led to Bradbury being hired to write the screenplay for Huston’s “Moby Dick.”
Some years ago I bought the Modern Library collection of Bradbury’s short stories. Most of them, like “The Small Assassin” and “The Foghorn” were written before 1960, though Bradbury wrote, I’m sure, until the day he died in 2012.
I don’t mean to be critical. That’s just the way it often goes with creative talent.
Anyone remember the old Sugar And Spike comic book?

Cover art by Sheldon Mayer, scripts and art by Mayer
The idea was that babies/toddlers have their own language, which they forget when they learn English. The strips mainly focused on naïve confusion of cause and effect, and/or Sugar getting Spike into trouble, sometimes due to aforesaid confusion. Later on they introduced other toddlers for Sugar and Spike to interact with, particularly “Bernie the Brain”, a Gyro Gearloose type of character…
I loved them when I was a pre-teen, along with Archie comics (as well as “more serious” superhero fare).

Ah, my 3 month old paternal twin grand babies are precious and make me realize why I exist.
