Inquisitive Tikes

Who do you relate with? Some are relate better with people their own age or elderly or teens, but I have discovered a new relational bond while having Alopecia Areata Universalis. This is going to sound really funny. I seem to have a unique connection with toddlers. From grocery stores to amusement parks, crying to inquisitive tikes, babies seem to stop in their tracks with a face of "she looks like me but she's so much bigger." There is something about the shared baldness that can make a crying baby stop or a thoughtful baby want to touch my head. Although I am a stranger, there seems to be some kind of unique connection. Maybe the balding trait is why babies love their grandfather's so much.
