Why do people always use the baby voice to talk to children? I can understand a sentence or two. Even I do that. But as the service-learning coordinator I went to observe a SL project today where college students were teaching a lesson to kindergartners (and then 3rd graders), and they taught the entirety of both lessons in baby talk. I don’t mean necessarily the words they were saying, I understand the need to change your language with children. But they were doing that high-pitched soft voice thing. Children are still humans, their ears pick up the wavelengths of a normal pitched voice. I don’t mean to sound like an ass, but my ears were bleeding by the end.

So that this post isn’t entirely a bitch-fest (as has been a trend lately with many of the journals I read, including mine…I guess this is a good place to vent), I’m excited for the weekend. Tonight I get to just relax at home, my mom’s coming to see me tomorrow, then hopefully (depending on her car situation) I’m meeting Robin in EL Sunday to get spinach and artichoke dip and go see Bridget Jones!
