A few days ago I was scoping out www.oldnavy.com looking in the bargain section. In the Baby Girls’ department…under Tanks & Shirts for Baby…I found this shirt:

Cowboy Wanted. Cow-Boy Want-Ed. On a shirt that comes in the sizes 6-12 months through 5T. If you’re not as appalled as I was, please slap yourself in the head and question why you are still permitted to breathe. WHO, in their right mind, thinks that this shirt is appropriate for a baby girl? WHY would a baby want a cowboy? WHY would a baby be advertising that they are in the market for, and actively looking for, a cowboy? It damn well better be because she likes horses.

Add this to the list of things my baby will not be wearing…EVER. This shirt and those stupid pants with words on the butt…no child of mine…I don’t care if it’s only $2.99. So, yeah, I’m disturbed that a baby clothes designer successfully pitched this idea…and more disturbed that somewhere someone purchased at least one of these shirts. I really don’t see why a child wearing a 5T would wear a shirt like this…let alone a child wearing size 6 months. In the spirit of this shirt, I’ve come up with a few baby shirt ideas myself. They are a little more ‘to the point’ than this one…but, hey, if we’re pimping out our children these days, why be subtle? How about:

Stripper In Training…Help Me Off With This Diaper

Gonna Be a Whore…Like My Mommy

I’m Using My Body…Brains Are Overrated
