I didn’t use to like pets. Then I had one and now I gush over people’s fur babies. Likewise I never had kids of my own, so rarely made a fuss over other’s infants. Now that my stepdaughter has given my wife and I a grandson, I notice babies a lot more (though none are as cute as our grandson)! Some of us have to grow into an appreciation of the procreative process. Poignant article!
I don't understand this. Was there a time when young people would drop everything in public to look at a baby? I am 43 and can't remember a time I gave a crap about a baby in public, including when I was young. They don't really do anything and most aren't that cute. Yes, I said it. So I am not sure this means anything unless it is being compared to a time young people (not just grandmothers) really cared about a baby showing up in public.
I am the same age and have five kids and can not remember ever senseing what is described here. People at least acknowledge, smile, say awwwww... or something. What she is describing is something I have not experienced. She also makes a much more important observation, that is very true, at the end despite how people may react in one days outing. We have becomes disconnected from others and what it means to be alive, in community, and to perpetuate a species. This is what the technocratic/transhumanists agenda has done to humanity, whether her observations at the store seem accurate to readers or not. We see it in so many aspects of life today.
