I took Carter to the fountain this morning to play and there was a little boy there, maybe two years old, down on the ground crying and having a hissy fit. Carter was very concerned and was watching him for a minute and then said, "Baby?" I said, "Yes, the baby's upset and crying." The mom (or maybe she was the grandmother; she was quite a bit older) made a point of asking me how old Carter is and then said to the other kid, "You're not a baby, are you? You're older than that boy. You're no baby!"
Get a grip, lady. I wasn't trying to insult your kid. Carter calls all kids "babies." He doesn't know the difference. So I told her that he calls all kids babies and she said, "Yeah, at THAT age, they do." in a tone that insinuated that I shouldn't be calling him one. Whatever.

Sounds like the grandmother was the baby.
Oh get a grip, lady. I would have called her a three year old because of her behavior.
Whatever dude - some people drive me nuts. Prayse calls everyone "baby" too. Even the 3 or 4 year olds who walk by.
Carter is so cute!
There have been times when someone kid younger than Parker will point at him and say "baby" And my wife or I will say to the other, "he's older than you kid." But it's in a joking manner. Parker calls them all "kids." He doesn't normally say baby.
maybe she should have been more concerned with the child/toddler/baby she was watching!
yeah that lady does need to get a grip!!! Timothy does the same thing if he hears another child crying and sometimes he insist on helping them!!!
"You're right. Carter, that there is a toddler, this lady here is a baby."
