Peeve

Here's a little something that irritates me. It doesn't make me want to smack someone (shock!), but just give a little plink (my word for the flicking of the index finger, propelled by the thumb on the same hand) to the "perp":

When someone gives birth, there is no need to say she had a “baby boy” or “baby girl”. "Boy" or "girl" will suffice. Because, really, what else is the little one going to be but a baby? Unless you’re Mork and Mindy, you’re not giving birth to an adult. Right? Right.

Please make a note of it.

I love that Charles Addams cartoon in which the doctor is handing the bundle to the mother and the caption reads, "Congratulations! It's a BABY!"

"It doesn't make me want to smack someone..."

You could always smack Ouiser Boudreaux!;-)

BTW - If you haven't seen it yet, here's the scene from the movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EjNa8Ukg_0

Kinda like two twins. Hate that. We don't say three triplets, do we?
