But, next week is his maiden voyage to the grocery store, so maybe I'll have stories then, lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-people#post-1564849 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 14:04:23 +0000 googly-eyes 1564849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsB2012: "Motherese" (the higher pitch, sing song kind of voice) is actually supposed to be a good thing, albeit annoying! Not the weird non-word words though...those I have not explanation for!!</p> <p>@Dandelion: I have no idea why people do this. What bugged me is when people would just touch LO as a nb. A cashier at target once reached into the carseat, moved the blanket, and touched LO and my jaw just dropped. People are just weird about babies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-people#post-1564846 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 13:59:17 +0000 Dandelion 1564846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsB2012: yes! arg! so annoying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-people#post-1564838 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 13:52:08 +0000 MrsB2012 1564838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know! The same reason why everyone feels the need to talk to them in some horrid high pitched voice I guess.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-people#post-1564821 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 13:14:56 +0000 Dandelion 1564821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Talk to babies like they're deaf?</p> <p>I've caught both my MIL and mom doing this...and the lady at the museum gift shop did it today, too! When MIL did it, DH just said, "you know...he passed his hearing test just fine." lol...love him. </p>
