Subway convo: Baby-talk.

When I was on my way to the walk-in clinic to get checked out and get antibiotics, there was this done-up late 20s mixed race (half-white and half-hispanic?) mom with yellow fingernails and nice hair and this sweet face, and her son was in the lap of some older (white) lady (the grandmother?) on the facing seats on the subway train, and the mom would quietly lean in and coo to him and talk with him, and you could tell she loved being a mom and just doted on her son.

When the subway was above ground, we must have passed a gym or something, because the mom pointed out the window while looking at her son and in her same baby-coo tone was like, "Look honey, look there, you can work there someday, and be a personal trainer, and make some real money..."
