Dear Baby Ribbon:

What was the premise behind the Drink & Wet Babies?  Why would I want a pony peeing all over me?  Do we like it when dogs pee on us? Is that, like, cute? No? Then why is it "cute" when a baby pony pees on you?  And another thing . . . in Ponyland, did the other babies just not have any bodily functions?

Dear Featherfire,

Well . . . ahem . . . all of us do that, but not all of us flaunt it like it was something really special to have fully functional kidneys.  The D&W Babies are even really cliquish--they shout, "Drink and Wets! Drink and Wets! WE'RE #1!"  Number One.  No kidding.  I wonder if any of them will ever realize how hilarious that is.

The Surprise Newborns are following in their footsteps.  Don't even ask what the Surprise is.

The fact is, most of us babies were potty-trained at a very early age, even though every baby pony worth his or her salt possesses a sizeable stock of Velcro diapers in cute yellow boxes.  The older ones even have "party panties," the MLP equivalent to training pants.

Back to the question, no, it's not cute, and yes, some ponies are strange.  We won't even talk about the Surprise Twins ponies . . .
