I thought the movie, starring Shirley Jones as the American mother in London of a toddler who talks like an adult to be harmlessly charming. Having a brother named Bobby, and another brother, reminded me of how grown adults still need to be coddled like Shirley Jones, conversely, coddled this toddler who talked like an adult! When I think of my middle brother, I can't help think of him at Joeykins (since his name is Joe), or my brother as, naturally, Bobbykins.
Just a laugh I get. You also have to check out Gregory Peck's over-the-top performance in The Boys From Brazil, with his turn chasing after 12 year olds (I won't give out the over-the-top plot) crying out, "Bobbbbby!" ...Reminds me of Shirley constantly referring to her precocious toddler as Bobbykins! Bobbykins is just a trifle, but in my opinion, a hoot.
