We're Going To Candy Mountain...

"Babe" is the word today for this blog.

Check out this video first.



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OBlgSz8sSM

Imagine the world without babies (yes what were you thinking???).

As of now, the video (check url) registered more than 55,000,000 hits. So what is it that keeps people watching, and watching?

GO ON.

Catch the next one.




Yes.

"Charlie Bit my Finger" was such a massive success on youtube.com, that it spawned off 'lame' videos like the one above and "Charlie bit my finger... 50 years later." Was the video famous due to the proximity of the brothers' intepersonal relationship? Or was it due to sheer luck, pure innocence, and/or timing of Charlie's laughter?

If you guys think that the video is a one-off, that those cute little babes are nothing but noise pollution, that their innocence (being 'cutesy', making rubber faces) are but temporary,

THINK AGAIN:



Fact #1: Babies can dance (eh, respond well)
-The very fact that the baby danced shows how responsive our brain can be, even at a very young age. Statistics point out to kids having good and early training will eventually become what we know as prodigies or geniuses. Practice makes perfect.... SENSE.




Fact #2: Babies can sing (communicate rhythmically)
-Not everyone can sing. It takes some processing to form an idea, then to words (encoding). But this girl definitely puts a shame to the guys out there who cannot even talk to the girl they fancy. Getai anyone?




Fact #3: Babies are fearless
-There are some guys who cannot really imagine a girl swearing (me included). Uncouth, foul-mouthed are some words we usually reserve for men. But the girls of today scream EQUALITY back at the guys...
Well... All I can say is that babies learn most from their mothers. (get the hint girls?)
Television comes a close second...




Fact #5: Babies are blunt (communication without "feedback")
-"I love you, but you have to give me cookies for (saying) that." Enough said.




Fact #6: Babies can really, really laugh
-They say laughter is the best medicine. Infectious too. How rightly so. And all these follow through with 66,000,000 (youtube hits) bouts of laughter. Really.


A side question: Do babies/kids make communication within the family better?


Finally, a kid so talented, I feel sqeamish thinking about it.




(PS: if you have time for my blog, surely you have time for Charlie the unicorn?)

Till my next blog.... Ciao

in my opinion, babies don't necessarily make the communication within a family better or not; it largely depends on the perception of the principal communicators (parents, siblings) themselves.

if they like kids, they'll tend to communicate better. if not... they're all going to candy mountain. ):

ps: friendly reminder to send group the chronological 'line-up'. let's split the slides into two and u lemme ur idea of how u wanna intro? cheersssssssssssss
