what is this "don't be a baby" shit

[jedusor]

Here is what I love about babies, all right. Adults, they see somebody do something they can't do, and they go: "Wow, that's amazing! I could never do that." Or sometimes: "Ooh, I'd like to learn how to do that someday." Babies, they see somebody do something they can't do, and they go: "Oh hey sweet, empirical evidence that this thing can be done! Move over, bitch, lemme try!" And then when they can't do it, they try again. And then they get frustrated, and take a break to scream, and then they eat something or sleep for a while, and then go: "Oh yeah, that thing! MAYBE I CAN DO IT NOW." You gotta admire that.

YEAH!! That is so cool.

Sometimes you have to stop them from trying to do that thing today. Some babies, for instance, want to help unload the dishwasher, but you have to stop them because they want to sit on the open door of the dishwasher and they are big enough that they might break it if they did that. Not to name any names, of course.

Oh yeah, it's the most obnoxious thing about them too. But it helps, when I'm fed up with a kid who won't quit, to remember that this is really a good thing.
