I’m an animal person. Not only your usual human companions
like dogs and cats, but pretty much every kind of creature that walks, hops,
flies or slithers around.
Well,
maybe not so much that slither part. Snakes are fine, just as long as they’re a
good distance away from me.
I like
animals. A good deal. I’ve been known to exclaim “Puppy!” anytime I’m driving
and happen to pass a person walking a dog. Regardless of whether or not anyone
is in the car with me to hear it or if the dog is old enough to be my father.
It’s
just the way I do business.
One
thing I’m not super into? Babies. Human ones.
I don’t
dislike babies, by any means. I just don’t find them as appealing as animals. I
respond to a baby in a room the same way I do a coffee table: It’s just a thing
that’s there. It’s not adding to or distracting from my life experiences.
I wasn’t
raised around a ton of babies so I don’t really know what to do with one when
it’s around or how to interact with it. I’m not quite on the level of
Schwarzenegger in “T-2,” but maybe just a hair below.
Babies
and I aren’t on the same page, but like I said, I don’t have a problem with
them.
Something I do have a problem with?
Girls and babies.
