    Baby's innocent. The adult should correct the behavior. Not so much bc it's gross even tho it is. But bc his hygiene & physical development could be compromised if he were to damage his pp. Would he stand there petting his child if he were performing the same act? 🤔 Oh & post it for all to see?!? ヽ⁠(⁠。⁠◕⁠o⁠◕⁠。⁠)⁠ノ⁠.

    Let me start:
    -Signing generalissimus Mbappe for Real(he can guarantee freedom of speech but not freedom after speech)
    -Luka Doncic trade from Mavericks
    -Dirk draft trade
    -Letting Messi from Barcelona for free agent
    -Calciopoli
    -Majority of Manchester transfers since Fergie era, there were good transfers but majority were pure miss
    – Gerrard slip against Chelsea
    – John Terry slip penalty against Manchester United
    – Djokovic and whole Australian open fiasco,he could have skipped it
    -Federer Wimbledon 2019 match point
    – Whole France 2010 world cup fiasco
    – Basically last three world cups for Italy

    The Yankees starting Kevin Brown for Game 7 in the 2004 ALCS or Alex Rodriguez slapping the ball out of Bronson Arroyo’s hand to get to First Base in Game 6 of the same series.
