I have noticed this with my favor boxes. Which are white paperboard 1.5 in. cubes. When tied with a ribbon, they are so cute, I hop up and down squealing. Why? BECAUSE THEY&#8217;RE <strong>LITTLE</strong> BOXES!!!!!!!! Beyond that, I really can&#8217;t say.</p> sister sledge http://faerye.net/post/little-and-big#comment-1187 2004-04-29T09:02:59+00:00 2004-04-29T09:02:59+00:00 <p>Well, yes. HRM. You know, I do think the bowl of the cup is larger than the handle, proportionally. Hmm. Perhaps Bedrick is right.</p> felicity http://faerye.net/post/little-and-big#comment-1186 2004-04-29T08:41:42+00:00 2004-04-29T08:41:42+00:00 <p>Neoteny is more about proportion than size, I think. Small children have large heads, proportionally. Your skull grows less than any other portion of your body. Thus, perhaps the big round bowl-mug is cute because it is over-large, like a baby&#8217;s head.</p> Mithrandir http://faerye.net/post/little-and-big#comment-1184 2004-04-28T22:04:32+00:00 2004-04-28T22:04:32+00:00 <p>You know, it did occur to me. Though, I&#8217;ll admit, spelled differently :p But how does that explain that a BIG cup is cute?</p> felicity http://faerye.net/post/little-and-big#comment-1183 2004-04-28T21:52:55+00:00 2004-04-28T21:52:55+00:00 <p>Neotany.</p> bedrick
