Several women in my family insist on saying that they like the sound of 
a baby crying, as long as it isn't their own baby.  I grew up with my 
mother saying this, and now my sister says it (and incidentally still 
leaves her 2yo to cry it out at night).  I used to be accustomed to the 
idea, but now it is very creepy.
