Just about everyone I now associate with has never read my "Panty Blog" and, well, if I can ever locate whichever blog I wrote it on all those years ago, I would repost here for your enjoyment. But seeing as I am not a search engine and no search engines thus far have turned it up, we'll have to make do with the cliff's notes.
Underwear, panties specifically, can define a person as well as their attitude for the day. Have you ever seen someone picking out their wedgie? They're usually scowling and grumbling something under their breath - I do too when I have a wedgie. So a bad pair of panties CAN ruin a good day. Just like a good pair of panties can salvage an otherwise nasty day. The main purpose of that blog was to define the types of people who wear certain types of underwear and the type of attitude a certain style of panty can convey for the day.
This blog, well, it really has nothing to do with panties... and probably very little to do with underwear to be honest. It was inspired by my 21 month old son running back and forth across my living like a pinball caught in the bumpers. You see, he's running around in just a diaper with a sniff-tastically clean pair of superhero underwear over his diaper. It looks cute and it make him feel like a big boy... but would I ever take him out in public dressed this way? Hell to the no... but some people would and do.
Yes, it is Florida... yes, it is August and 100 degrees outside in the shade...yes, I fried my breakfast on the sidewalk this morning. But please people, for the love of anything holy, put clothes on your children before you take them somewhere. I'm not asking for your kids to be dressed up like little dolls, but would it kill you to put a t-shirt and knit pair of shorts on your kid with some sandals or flip-flops? The shoes aren't even a big deal - I'm lucky to get Orion to keep them on half the time, but that sign that says "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service" - it applies to you. A public place is full of perverts and grime. Have you ever let your child run through the grocery store? (Hell, who am I kidding? Half the rednecks in Florida live in Pensacola and hold baby derbys in the aisles of Wal-Mart) But seriously, have you ever seen a child's feet after being on the floor of Wal-Mart...? It's DISGUSTING. There's a reason that the term "grocery-store feet" has a negative connotation - grocery store floors are nasty and so are you if you let your kids run through the aisles of a grocery store.
Letting two and three year old girls sit in the buggy in nothing but a diaper... not only am I secretly praying to the sanitary gods that your child's diaper is on tightly and the right size so it doesn't leak all over the place, but that 50 year old man behind me in line that is staring at your daughter with a sparkle in his eye isn't looking at the 7-Up you just put on the conveyor belt. What you do at home is your business and your issue, but cover your child in public. There are too many perverts in this world for you to go around making it easy for them. Check Florida Neighborhood Sex Offender Search and I bet you'll find there's sexual predators in YOUR neighborhood so they are definitely going to be at Wal-mart. Within 2 miles of my home address, there are 29 people registered with the state as an offender. Do your child a favor and save them years of therapy in the future by putting clothes on them and not drawing that kind of attention to them.
And while you're at it, you could bathe them too, but I'm asking for a realistic response, not hoping to win the lottery...
