@BJ McFrisky: People turned babies into accessories long ago.
I have a picture of me, age 5, in the most horrific outfit ever made to prove it.

Now, don’t get me wrong. Anyone who knows anything about me knows I love me some D&G. For many years my closet was stuffed with nothing else, but SERIOUSLY, perfume for babies. I know it is a tradition and all in Europe but seriously thats one tradition that needs to stop, right along with male baby circumcision.

One time we were at a Chinese restaurant and my brother kept smelling his tea. He asked my mother why it smelled familiar. He kept smelling it, driven nuts by not being able to place it. We siblings ribbed him because he couldn’t let it go. Finally my mother said, “Hand it to me.” She inhaled the aroma and said, “I got it.” It was the A&D ointment she had used on his chapped infant buttocks. The whole table lost it. Derision and Chinese food pair nicely. I wonder how many teens are going to whiff this scent and wonder where the Hell they smelled it before.

Seriously?! Like the shallowest of mothers, we apparently want to turn babies into accessories. And what does this nauseating whiff of ludicrousness have to do with gays?
