WHY DO WE TALK TO BABY'S---!

     A young lady with her new baby came into Burg Grocery this past week and was immediately the big hit. One female employee, after the new mother had left, asked me why do we talk to babies in the way we do. Other words, we bend down and start talking in this "baby voice" and do all this "gitchee gitchee goo" stuff! Why oh why!

       Along those same lines, when talking to an elderly person, we start talking louder and slower, making the assumption that the Senior is possibly hard of hearing. Same goes for talking to someone we think is a foreigner. Again, we talk slower and louder like that might help them to understand better!
