Yummy!

I now understand why mothers are always talking about eating their babies—noshing on chubby thighs, swallowing cute little cheeks whole, nibbling on tiny ears. It's because BABIES SMELL SO DARN TASTY.

Don't they, though? Why is that? My co-workers and I also wonder why a baby's chubby rolls are considered adorable, however a woman's are just plain unsightly???

They do indeed smell delicious! Except when milk runs across their luscious ckeeks and down their necks and collects there. And ferments. Oof.

I wonder if the eating thing is a weird flashback to our own infancy, when we learned about new things by popping them in our mouths.

Its too odd - there's gotta be a reason for it.

Daddies do it too :) Though in my case it wasn't the smell--just the INKREDIBLE KUTENESS.
