Enough Already

I know that #6 is a beautiful baby.
I know his little feet are the cutest thing you've ever seen.
I know he looks sweet in his sling all curled up on my chest.
I know that seeing his sweet face may remind you of your own babies who are now grown up and don't look so sweet when drooling in their sleep.
I know that one of the best things in the world is sniffing the baby head.
I know that the lure of a baby's cheek is nigh irresistible.
I know.....and yet.

If I don't know you...
If I've never seen you before in my life...
If I'm in the grocery store buying bananas....
If he's sleeping....
If I'm trying to have a conversation with the two year old who's trying to escape...
If you haven't even bothered to ask me...

If you haven't even bothered to ask me!!!!!!

Please, please, please don't touch the baby.
