i decided to move my office to starbucks yesterday. i spent the office, appearing very hip – with my macbook, my venti bold and my ae messenger bag. it was a very good afternoon, and actually got lots done.
on the other side of the lounge were a number of mothers and their babies. i think parents create a lot of bad behaviours at a young age. one child was crawling across the floor pushing a toy and the put it in his mouth, mom was watching. not long later, another child had a very loud burb…which the mothers applauded.
isn’t this confusing? if i was crawling around on the floor and putting things in my mouth and burbing loudly, is anyone going to applaud me? aren’t we just adding confusion to these poor children?
for the record, I would be 100% ok with you crawling on the floor, putting things in your mouth and burping really loud..
i’d applaud – heck, i’d even PAY you to do it….
For the record, I am heartily in favour of the burp by young children. It generally means that the last meal will not be spit up on one of the parents.
And I encourage our kids to put everything from the floor (or the yard) into their mouths. Builds up s strong immune system, you know… :^)
