a long time ago (probably when i was one), my dad and late mom brought me along to visit a friend of theirs somewhere in ipoh. the family friend had a baby, who was younger than i was, and brought the kid to me, saying, “baby… baby…”.

my reaction was a nonchalant:

PIANGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!

the baby’s reaction was obviously more than a tearful “WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!”.

my parents were most likely to have been speechless.

i don’t hate kids but i don’t really get out of my way going coocheecoocheecoo. developmental milestones in the personality section definitely on the early side there.
