Talk to me like an adult
I love the way parents talk to their younger kids in that sing-songy way that’s not at all condescending or annoying. Besides, that voice surely helps the children understand. I only wish parents would continue to use that voice once their kids are older.
“Did you get her pregnant? That’s right! Pregnant! You know what that means, don’t you, my little snuggle bug?”
“You smell like weed and cheap whiskey, don’t you babydoll? Yes you do! You DO smell like schwag and the back of a pickup truck!”
“You’re so funny! You’re my little miracle! No, you can’t borrow 500 dollars for rent.”
“I don’t know why you were born, sweetiepie. Your father and I got along back in the 80s! Yes we did!”
