Pookie mode is when someone shifts into full soft, affectionate, baby-talk energy — the version of yourself that only comes out around your person or your pet. In pookie mode, your voice goes up an octave, your boundaries dissolve into a puddle of sweetness, and you become incapable of saying anything that isn't some variation of 'you're the cutest thing alive.' Pookie mode is a privilege: not everyone gets to see it, and the people who do are lucky.
She's totally professional at work but the second her dog runs up, she's in full pookie mode — it's honestly kind of adorable.
