For example:
"Where are your socks, boy? Aren't you cold?"
"Are you hungry, sweetie? Didn't mamma give you something to eat yet?"
On the funny side, N was completely new to this baby thing when, while travelling to Spain with The Boy when he was four months old, someone asked The Boy's name. And it was one of those talking-directly-to-the-baby-but-actually-asking-the-parent thing. They just said something like, "what's your name, sweetie?" And N, my dear silly sometimes totally socially inept N, was also talking to the boy and saying, "what's your name, boy? won't you tell this nice lady your name?"
I couldn't believe I had to whisper to him "she's actually asking you.. coz if you haven't noticed, our 4-month-old can't speak yet."

Hilarious! People who talk to the baby and expect a reply (from the parent) really annoy me. Why not just ask the parent ?
