Maybe I am just mean....


Not quite sure...but, maybe I am just a mean judgemental person....

But then again.....maybe not.

One thing that rubs me the total wrong way is when I see parents who subject their children to things that they did not ask for.

I will admit...I am judgemental as far as that is concerned.

Today, we went to the zoo with our fantastic playgroup friends.

While we were admiring the sea lions, I noticed a little boy who was maybe 4 to 5 years old.

He was darling...cute as a bug.

Then, he turned around. He had on a t-shirt with an adult sexual statement on it...that was put with a pinata to make it look more like a child's saying.

He had no clue what it meant...and it was 100% inappropriate.

I pointed it out to one of my friends....very discreetly. I didn't say anything bad...just said "Did you see that little boy's shirt?"

Apparently the Mom heard me and started getting all flustered talking to her husband about me saying something about the t shirt.

This sounds so high school.....

But, if you are going to put your child in clothing that draws negative attention....then please be expected for people to talk about you. Isn't that the whole idea of the shirt?

So anyway...that is my soap box post for the month.

If your child does not understand what the saying means on his shirt, and if your child is to young to have those thoughts and feelings, then please do not put the shirt on the child.

So there.
