1)
One Mother to a small group: "So has anyone like had an accident with their baby yet?"
Rest of group: "?!!" (either silently horrified, or has no intention of talking about that time when they accidentally let their baby fall onto their nose when practising sitting up)
2) Baby has scratch on head due to scratching self...
One Mother to baby's Mother: "So what's that scratch? Child abuse?!" (joking)
Both Mothers, inwardly: "Oooh that didn't work. Mental note: don't make jokes about child abuse to other parents".
3)
"I've noticed my baby's poos tend to be ....." (nb: this can be a conversation starter in some circles).
4)
Talking about blowing raspberries to amuse babies...
One Mother: "I wonder when they stop finding farts amusing"
Meririsa: "I don't think farts ever stop being amusing!!"
OM: (Looks around at Meririsa in new light).
5) Mother of 3-week-old: "I just have to have him in some kind of feeding routine or I'll have no life!!!"
Meririsa: "Yeahhhh...." (remembering all the times E-chan's feeding routine has changed, but didn't say anything as didn't want to add to M-o-3's feelings of inner chaos)
