I agree with you!  My 3yo just commented when seeing a 1yo fed with a bottle,
"Why does that baby have MILK in her sippy-cup?"  (He only drank water from a
sippy-cup--and never had a bottle or hung out with children who did.)

Son's other winning comment this week was saying in a very loud voice when he
saw our friend's baby sleeping in her crib, "WHY is the baby in a CAGE????")
