Baby talk - Laura is a Woman at the point where time grows short. Give her some space on that. I became a dad 1st time at 47 (Wife 34). Women normally can't wait as long as I did...
Dog Talk. OK by me - I have 2 now, have had as many as 4 at once...if you don't have a dog, you don't probably relate to it. {ARF!}
I don't begrudge Laura her baby talk, I just don't care to hear it. Now don't I sound like a cranky ole lady!
