Don't worry, Mommy is hurrying up...
An interesting, new form of communication is afoot: using our son to speak to each other in the third person. Dropping hints at what we'd like the other to do and projecting our needs onto Papito. It's kinda funny, actually. Example: I'm holding a screaming Papito and saying in an exaggeratedly loud voice,"I know that you are hungry, Mommy is moving as fast as she can to get back here and feed you!" or, Wife saying, "Daddy is going to get us (this or that) so we can be comfortable." Hmmm, Daddy is getting tired now and Mommy wants to take you so he can nap : )

Yes, this is one of my biggest frustrations with new parenthood. The art of passive aggressive communication through your infant. I'm dumbfounded because the infant has no freaking idea what you are saying so why are we so compelled to talk like a high pitched, whiny, bubbly little girl? If the baby could understand us, they would be confused and wondering why we are squealing at them and why does our breath stink so bad. They are probably thinking..."I can't turn my head away yet so please don't breath on me again. My only defense is to poop as smelly as I can to show you some of your own medicine...or...somebody get me a freaking tit full of milk immediately!!!...or...for crying out loud, talk to each other like adults, you sound like complete idiots!!!"
