Infant wink

The other day, a friend and I were eating at Taco Bell. A nice looking young couple were in the next booth. They had a baby in a car seat in the booth with them. As the couple stood to leave, the guy placed the baby in the car seat on top of the table for a few seconds. My friend's back was to the couple so he hadn't seen anything. The baby was maybe six feet away from me as its mom and dad tidied up the table. Then the baby winked at me. I mean his teeny little right eye winked right at me! I'm telling you this was an infant. Like a couple of months old or something. So the guy picked up the car seat and carried the baby past us as they left. I thought for a brief moment to say to the guy, "Hey, fellow, your baby just winked at me." I thought maybe he would find it amusing too, but I also thought that maybe the baby has some brain problem so I better just shut up right now. So I shut up. Still, I bet you've never had an infant wink at you.

Well I guess I'm way behind on these posts. Won't let that happen again. A baby winked at you huh? Yes, you are Special.

I like to talk to babies like they are women in a nightclub.
"Hey baby, come here often?"
"Whassup, baby?"
"Yo baby, I saw you winkin' at me."

It's only funny once though. After that, the joke gets old real fast.
