That's why I never used baby talk on my kids. Not that an 18 month old was likely to pick up all the adult vocabulary, or that they'd understand the logical reasoning about why they couldn't run into the street, but at some point they *would* have that vocabulary and logical reasoning, and I just didn't know when that would be.
Plus, a lot of "baby talk" makes me want to puke. Huh; maybe that's why babies spit up all the time--it's the baby talk that they're subjected to.
