irritating little beans

I'm not pro-baby. Seriously.

I don't know why and I really don't want to bad-mouth other people's kids (and risk having my cursed chickens come home to hatch), but there's this baby in my neighbour's house who is really the tops in bawling his lungs out. I think it's the grandson/granddaughter of my neighbour. There's no sane reason why anyone would put up with a screaming baby, unless the family blood runs in its veins.

Every morning, without fail, it will cry and scream, much to the disdain of even my dogs. In the beginning, I thought it's cos of the fixed-time barking of my in-house furbros (their undying excitement and bitterness whenever a neighbour's dog goes out at 9am) that the baby is crying. I used to feel bad for causing it such a frightful start to the day. But, I have realised it's at no fault of our furbros at all. The baby just cries. For reason, or not. A few times a day. Short bursts of high-octave bawling. Sometimes, I do feel the urge to pop over to my neighbour's house and ask if everything is alright, in a somewhat sarcastic manner.

Today, I was on the same bus with another soprano baby. It was just making noise and shrieking and getting all the attention it wanted, including from most of us on the same bus. I was trying hard to nap a bit and there the kid was, shrieking. Freaking annoying! Luckily, I didn't have to endure that for long as I quickly got off at my destination. I hope it shut up soon, for the benefit of the eardrums of the poor passengers in the same bus.

Babies! Bleah. I'd rather have cats.
