I have a whole bunch of nieces and nephews and could never for the life of me figure out why people fawn over babies so much. They eat, poop, and cry and that is it. And among those three things, the eating can be as obnoxious as the pooping and the crying if the mom lacks common decency.

After I had my first child that all changed. Of course, I loved my child immediately, but I also began to adore infants in general. Now I love to see and hold pretty much any infant.

I get where you are coming from, having been there myself. I never assume anybody would care to see my infant offspring, nor indeed do I care to display them (I have four children now). But I get why a lot of people do.

Should the world ever be graced with a little Cannoli Junior, maybe you will see things differently.
