Some moms drive me absolutely up the wall.
I take Avery to Gymboree a few times a week, which is awesome, except coming in contact with the mom (there's always at least one in the class) who talks to their toddler with a vocabulary of a 6 month old. I mean is it necessary to completely deprive your child of 2 + syllable words?
For example:
Not-as-cute-as-his-mom-thinks-he-is toddler falls while walking down a 3 foot wide almost horizontal slide. (I know, right?)
Mom says "Did bay-bee go boom-boom? Bay Bee go boom-boom. Bay Bee get boo boo? Goo Goo Ga Ga Poo Poo Da Da"
After I threw up in my mouth, I walked Avery away from the kid who will undoubtedly be picked last for kick ball. And life.
I totally take part in the occasional baby talk, but I think constantly talking to your kid like he/she is an adorable moron might actually help him/her to become one. I'm not suggesting swapping out Hop on Pop for The Grapes of Wrath, but you get the point.
Hahaha. That's funny. I just saw the "hot ass twin sister thing." Thanks for the shout out, "widdle ma ma ma MILFy poo poo...."
ReplyDeletewhat's funny is, studies say that speaking "normally" to your child actually develops their OWN vocabulary faster! Sometimes I really think people should have to pass an intelligence test to have children of their own... Bah!! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't stand those moms.
