A Small Request...

Jack and I were at the library yesterday. I was on one side of the aisle looking at books and he was looking for books on the other side of the aisle. I asked him, "Hey, baby, are you finding any good books over there on your side?" He stopped looking at books, turned to me and said, "Mom, will you please stop calling me baby in public." I was speechless. I really didn't know what to say. So I said "ok." and then went on to mumble to myself, "I wasn't calling you baby like a baby...I was calling you baby like honey or sweetheart...." Oh, they grow up too fast...
