    Can I have a combo of baby 2 and 3? I'd take them to the baby disco and watch them have a dance off... the rest can stay at home drinking juicy juice for all I care.

    Did anyone else notice that Baby #6 is just a puppet for the black-clad adult whose knee she/he is sitting on and who is waving her/his little arms around while baby looks confused??? Am I just stating the obvious here?

    @quietlygoingmad: For me, it depends on if they took it upon themselves to do this, or were given the idea/talked into it by an adult. The former I'm okay with (they're excellent dancers), but the latter not so much.

    I love how they all start by swaying their diaper-clad bums around. It's also pretty remarkable how much of the choreography they figure out considering some of them look like they've only recently figured out this "walking" thing.

    I know this isn't the point, but does anyone else just not find babies cute? I feel like my maternal instinct is broken. These videos do nothing for me, but then babies never do.

    I can't find it at the moment but does anyone remember me posting this vid during or just after the VMAs? It's too cute not to post again! Also, there's a vid of the girl sort of dancing while her older brother does the dance (about a year ago, before the girl) but since I can't post two vids at once, here's the link: [www.youtube.com]

    It's not just babies. That song is like audible crack. My six year old freaking loves it, and G-d forgive me, she and I can be found blaring it while driving.

    So, what-the-fuck-ever, you so-called cute babies, the ShortAuthorGirl belting out "now put'cher hands UP! oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-OH-oh-oh" it the cutest fucking thing EVER.

    I often hear friends complain when one of our group inevitably splits off and has kids... they say "ugh, you never get to go out and have fun anymore!" But this is how I see it... kids are fun. Definitely as entertaining as your average drunk. After all, when the most entertaining drunks are trashed, they tend to act like toddlers themselves... babbling nonsense conversations, wanting to sing crazy songs, falling down, things like that. Plus, one would think Mom & Dad can drink cheaper at home too. Just some thoughts. ;)

    Every time I see a "cute" or "stupid (i.e. doped up on dentist meds" kids video, I revel in the cuteness and simultaneously consider how pissed I'd be if MY parents did this. At least, once I was beyond age...I dunno, three?

    @maude_flanders: Me, too. I think it's inappropriate to post material of children on a public forum, really. They can't consent to it, and honestly, it's just... weird to me. I know most parents think their kids are the greatest, funniest, cutest kids ever, and that's fine and all, but I'd prefer to keep them a little more private, for safety reasons.

    There's something mildly cute with some of the babies (like the first one) caught dancing when no one is watching or prompting it. But I do not find it even remotely amusing to watch babies do tricks while looking hopefully at their parents for approval and coaching (like 2 and 3). And staged BS like 6 is just annoying and only cute for grandma and grandpa.

    @EdnasEdibles: Agreed. There was that video that went around YouTube for awhile of a little girl narrating a book about kittens. To me it sounded like she was totally being coached - and it drove me up the wall (and like 10 people sent it to me!)

    I can find little kids super, super cute (little Amelie girl!) - but when you can sense the coaching/looking for parental approval, it grates on my old lady nerves.

    @EdnasEdibles: I don't know. When I was a kid, I created whole dance/theater routines, forced my friends to be in them, and forced my parents to watch. How can you perform your solo dance number without an audience?!

    I don't really understand why we should be donating to this kids college fund. Is this just the parents trying to make a dollar from a dancing baby? Don't all babies dance?
