Prompt: Babies “Dogs have owners, cats have staff, and babies have room service.” Nanette L Avery What is your take on this quote as to what makes babies so lovable? ------- Well, to begin with, babies are cute. With big eyes, round cheeks, small noses, tiny chins, they awaken our protectiveness and tenderness. This may be because they are also totally helpless, totally sincere, and totally eager to learn about our world they have been brought into. Also, a baby is a beginning, a potential with future. If we didn't care for them, babies wouldn't survive. They are clueless about their environment and even their own needs. And they have no hidden motives. Their expressions are honest. They cry for an immediate need. They laugh out of pure, whole-hearted joy. In my case, holding my babies, feeling their soft skin, hearing their breathing, their smiles, smelling their scent were the most rewarding experiences in my life. Even today, with my sons in their fifties, for a split second when I look at them, I still feel those rewarding experiences and think how wonderful it is that my babies, once so small and helpless, could turn into such grown, thoughtful, and wonderful human beings. |
