I despise the word "peanut" when used to describe a baby, especially mine.

They just don't look like peanuts. At all. And yet the usage is ubiquitous. It makes no sense and bothers me to no end.

Thankfully mine is just about out of the "peanut" phase, so I''ll only have to put up with it on rare occasions when my wife sees another baby.
