talk baby to me.

No, I am not talking about actual baby talk. The talk that comes from cute, babbling and drooling toddlers, which would be acceptable. I'm talking about the baby talk that comes from grown women, whether they are saying it to their significant other or a friend or whomever; I simply cannot stand it. A perfect example would be Khloe Kardashian. Yes if you are wondering I do shamelessly watch the Kardashian clan and numerous shows that have taken over the E! Network but my skin crawls when Khole is on screen with her husband, Lamar Odom and she reverts into her "baby voice." I even know a girl who would just spontaneously break out in baby talk. For instance when her dad came to visit, she came in the room and announced "Da-Da here!" My friend Amanda and I stared blankly at here and Amanda simply said: What? And the girl repeated herself: "Da-Da here!" Excuse me, but are you trying to say "My Dad is here?" The hilarious and on-point show 'How I Met Your Mother' even had an episode dedicated to it:
Glamour also had a bit piece about this particular topic, showcasing one reader who was 31 at the time and said things like "Do you wuv me?" to her boyfriend; from scanning the comments from other readers it seemed that people were either all for it or totally against it like myself. I understand saying sweet things to your man but can't you say it in your grown-up voice? I just can't seem to wrap my head around this concept. If you are an intelligent, well-rounded and confident woman then talk like it! No matter who you are talking to or what you are saying. Thoughts on this?
