Aaarrrgh.

Having had several small humans, who are supposed to know how, actually use 
mine for the intended purpose, and getting it oh so very wrong without 
assistance, can we please kill this stupid meme?  

Babies have a reflexive instinct to turn their head, open their mouth, and 
attach to whatever brushes their cheek.    And trust me on this, they are 
very hard to get unattached unless they want to, and the results of missing 
the target are exceedingly painful (ever grazed your knee? every 4 hours? 
over and over for a *year* or more?) You betcha they learn the interface 
quick, but it's with assistance from the uh, highly motivated to succeed 
interface provider.
