“I don’t know where the urges come from, but thankfully they pass quickly,” she says. “Instead of crushing them, I just sniff their sweet smelling heads.”Taylor is not alone in her desire to smother her grandbabies with affection. In fact, the feelings she describes are so common there’s a term for it: “cute aggression.” It was first coined in 2015 by researchers at Yale University, led by Oriana R.
