Survival of the cutest

Babies are cute. Nature had to make them that way or no one would ever want to get up at all hours of the night to feed them or change really stinky diapers. I was just reading that babies start social smiling in order to ensure that their parents remain engaged and caring.

Maybe it’s the same thing with teenagers, but in reverse. If teens stayed all cute, sweet, and lovable, you would want them to stay around forever. Maybe moodiness and rebellion are nature’s way of ensuring that the next generation leaves the nest to go live an independent life.
