Babies & Kittens

Wow, they have spaces meant for people with prams and babies in your trains?

That's a convenient thing.
Most of the times I'm not bothered by the sounds of babies. But daughter is. In the train we opt for the silence carriages.

Wow, they have silence carriages in your trains?
I would like that here.


Yeah, there's two seats on each side next to the doors that are called Priority Seats. They are meant for seniors, people with disabilities and people carrying babies/have prams.

  The front benches on our city buses have a sign over them requesting that passengers vacate them
  if elderly or disabled people board the bus.  The bus driver can also use some hydraulic thingy
  to lower the bus to the curb so the slow-footed can more easily reach the steps with our aching feet.

Our buses have that hydraulic thing as well, plus a ramp that can be extended out to the ground.

  Ours also have a wheelchair lift on one side, and a wheelchair space with a seat belt. 

[renaeden]

That's cool, we don't have the wheelchair lift, but we do have the spaces on the bus for two wheelchairs. Gets pretty crowded when there is two of them.

We do have such designated seats here too, but they are not for people with prams. For them the middle of the bus, close to the main exit is the most convenient place.

I'll take the kitten.

I've never understood the attraction with babies.   
I think kids are cuter once they're walking and talking.

  I find many babies adorable to look at from a safe distance, but I don't want to hold them.

I know, but if you show your fear someone always plops one in your lap.

Without fail at every get-together or party I go to.

Whhhhyyyy??

  Maybe they think they're doing some sort of desensitization therapy. 


   I've only ever held one baby.  The grandmother insisted.  There's a photo.  I look ... uneasy.

Human infants are horrid things and they shouldn't be allowed anywhere near cute innocent kitties.

[DirtDawg]

How about a crawling human baby with an infantile kitten. Kind of cool, really.

Maybe you just need a high five or two. I happen to have a chair nearby I do not care about.

As a portrait photographer for over fourteen years, I have held hundreds of babies from all races and all ages and all cultural diversities. Babies are not so bad.

It is the parents of those babies who tried my patience.

Have you ever had the balz to refuse to look at brand new baby pics?

I have done so. I told this guy (old neighbor - kind of friendly but twenty years before he was a bully and BIG and I hated him, now many years have past but my spunk has not) that I have seen many baby pictures and I can only assume that HIS baby is even more ugly than most. I would not look at them.

I refused to take his new baby's pictures to look at.

... but I love babies, just suspicious of his.
