Moms (and dads) and their precious cargo

I watched a hipster mom perch her baby-man on a glass counter for a half hour so he could watch the scones and muffins below. The precious cargo baby-man was dressed like a fully employed Intel employee, which made me make a disgusted face. Actually, he might've been dressed as an architect. Nothing against architects, but I don't like architects. Too smug. Sorry architects. No architect at any age should dress like an architect. Especially not babies.

Anyhoo, Hipster Mom had her baby-man sitting above goodies while she pointed and gave them names. I guess she was waiting until her precious cargo baby-man let out a coo. Oh brother. Teachable moment maybe, but let's not showboat all that mothering while blocking the espresso line.

And since when have parents spent goodly sums of money to make baby appear like they have their own condo? Bad question. It's probably been happening a long time. Anywho, everyone knows babies should be dressed in crazy frog outfits and plastic capes with gum in their hair. I worry.
