They get them hooked on pockets when they're young, then magically take them away for "professionalism" and "dress code"
A couple of years off the pockets and they'll be back, but this time the only way you're getting pockets is with a baby or one of those giant purses with chihuahua.
Also, cannot overstate how selfish you are for not letting them have ANY of the poison under the sink. Would be entirely justified to scream and cry until you learn how to share.
Not rude i just confused because seem unrelated to what i mean. Not native english, just did sown -> sow because sew not on mind. But now actually funny, got good chuckle :)

they're for storing cool rocks, obviously, and it's adults who are the fools for abandoning this wisdom

Rocks, snails, sand, bottle caps, so many possibilities!

Pockets in baby clothes exist to frustrate women.

Its to encourage having babies.
Need pockets? Use your baby's pockets!

And this is why my combats are my fave trousers. Screw the crap that is decorative pockets. Which degenerate came up with that?

Parent here.
I assure you they have goals.
Are they your goals? No. But they are goals.
Those keys on the counter? That dog food bowl? The poison under the sink? All goals

Ay but how did it fare for Mojo Jojo, or the Rowdy Boys? And we all know what happened to Bunny...

As a parent, you can shove stuff in their pockets. It's convenient storage that stays with the baby and usually they won't mess with it overly much.

Like your drug contraband. If the cops find it what are they going to do? Arrest a baby?

Cool rocks

For candies and cool rocks

They definitely have goals. Not long term ones, but "sneak cool rocks home" is a goal.

Leaves, good pieces of mulch, snacks

It's to hold lizards and acorn caps.

As a parent I can answer this one. Nice rocks mostly. Sometimes bugs or candy or sand. Sticks tend to be too big.

Baby boys get pockets my six year old daughter doesnt. Nice.

Teach her sow, then add pocket herself.
Edit Sew not sow.
darctones@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 51d
Playing the long game, first you have to sow cotton to make thread
far_university1990@reddthat.com · 1 pts · 50d
Huh? Is sow not use thread to attach pocket to trouser without pocket?
darctones@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 50d
‘Sow’ is to scatter seeds, as in the phrase ‘you reap,!what you sow’
‘Sew’ is with a needle and thread.
The word play seemed ironic, because you can sow cotton to make thread to sew a button.

My 4yo says she keeps candy in her candy pockets. I hope that remains the case long into adulthood.

For rocks.
Tetsuo@jlai.lu · 7 pts · 52d
It's mostly for the pocket sand. If someone attacks a toddler, he can stand his ground and cast pocket sand to retaliate.

I thought like a lot of people their goals mostly revolved around suckin' titty. Was I wrong?
