  • I'm 55.  When I see a happy, calm baby I desperately wish I could hold it.

  • Take it or leave it.  Babies are basically breathing petrie dishes so.
    It's a little different when it's family though.  When it's family or friends so close they are family it's different.  As soon as they chit or show signs of puking I hand them off to someone else though.

  • Absolutely NOT. 

    Babies are a curious phenomenon and, like the philosopher's stone, have the ability to transmute a room full of feminists into a gushing, gooing, group of baby cuddlers.

  • THAT makes for an interesting display of power...of one definition of what power might be...

    Well, I'll try to get you pregnant, but I don't think it's going to happen. Wouldn't hurt to try though or maybe it would hurt. We will have to see. This post was edited by Zack at April 17, 2017 8:56 PM MDT

    Literally---no not really.  They are fragile and always require head support. But I do like being around them for a short time, and I will let them fall asleep on me.

    In general, I'm pretty useless around babies and young toddlers until they get to be about 2 years old.  By then they are less fragile and can interact with me more.
