My Latest Crackpot Theory about Babies

It occurred to me that as some parents tend to prefer a specific age in a child’s development, some favoring babies, others toddlers, and others teens, so it is likely also the case with babies — they themselves might be more comfortable at certain ages than others. This for me would explain why some babies are so much more comfortable in their baby skins and while other infants seem uncomfortable and put upon, and others still have that patient look in their eyes, clearly tolerating the condition, but without much affinity for it–other than the cuddling, I think most creature enjoy the cuddling.

I’m thinking of writing a story along these lines that takes place at a playdate, where the parents have mental monologues about the babies and the babies do the same about the parents and each other. It could be hilarious!
