It occured to me to wonder why many girls have a soft spot in their hearts for miniaturized versions of everyday objects they affectionally term "cute". I myself can never resist gushing over a tiny cupcake or a tiny shoe or even a tiny car. My friend once asked me, "Why is something small automatically 'cute'?" And a few days ago, a possible answer came to me, that perhaps women are endowed with a special heart for tiny things so that when a baby first emerges from their wombs, the tiniest, warmest, squiggling bundle ever, they will smile and say "how cute!", and thus be forever bonded.
It is a sweet thought, one that makes me smile.
