Say WHAT?

There are some things that are simply better left unsaid. 

Things that you may think, but would never dare say...

except for some reason people forget this rule with babies.

I can't tell you how many times we have been out and someone has called tiny a "healthy" baby.

Just this weekend at the mall an older couple came up to us, tickled her toes and said to me

 "well you can tell she likes to eat".

Of course at the time I smiled and laughed along but inside I was thinking:

ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME? DID YOU JUST CALL MY TINY FAT?

And this is not the first time I have heard that. 

I will admit that she isn't a petite baby and tiny was never really that tiny,

but she her mother still has feelings.

So I've come up with a list of things that for whatever reason are cute to say to a baby (and I assure you we have heard them all) but please never attempt to say these to an adult!

1. You really like to eat don't ya?
2. Look at all those rolls.
3. Look at those chubby cheeks.
4. You sure are healthy looking...ok well this could be nice but not if you are using it the way others have used it with tiny.
5. You are very well fed aren't you?

You can thank me later for steering you clear of any possible confrontations.

And don't forget...babies have feelings too!
