I've begun looking at the age of "babies" in media stories. Especially in
plane crashes and other dramatic situations, children of 2 and even 3 or
more are referred to as "babies". Maybe we should start clipping stories
and adding them to our legal files, against the day when someone objects to
an older "baby" nursing in public. Better yet, we ought to get our laws
straight from the start, or our 6 year olds could be in trouble...
