Don't be such a baby

I have a pet peeve with people bringing babies into the office. My problem isn't with the bringing in of the babies per se; it's the reaction that people in an office environment have to them. They stand in a circle around the stroller/carrier/sling-bearing parent and coo annoyingly whenever the little person blinks an eye or yawns. The women fuss over who gets to holllllllld the baby. And they engage in unnecessarily loud, IQ-reducing baby talk. I do not want to hear baby talk at work. I like babies. I don't like it when adults turn stupid in their presence.

That's why I thought this Dilbert was particulary funny.
