My wife and I never baby talk to our kid. We are an entirely pre-Germanic Sound Shift household. My daughter is barely even an embryo and is fully conversant with Proto-Indo-European. Adults at family gatherings are shocked and humbled by her laryngeals.

My wife and I never talk baby talk to our kid. We employ dark, terrible murmurings in forgotten tongues that no ear should hear, nor were meant to hear. My spawn is a monster of vaguely anthropoid outline, with an octopus-like head who's face shocks adults at family gatherings.

My wife and I never talked to our kids. We just thought at them real hard. Now, they can read other peoples' minds, start fires at 50 yards by just thinking about it, and telekinese X-Wings out of swamps without a second thought.
