RE: Do you get mad when people call babies "It"?

I've noticed a lot of parents get quite upset if you can't tell their babies gender.  To avoid that, I usually just refer to any undecided baby as "Sweetie".  At that age it's not condescending and usually gets the parent onside until you know for sure what gender their particular ugly little spud is!

To be ruled by tradition just means that you're letting yourself be outvoted by the dead.
