Clueless! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-dress-your-child-in-that#post-987432 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 12:37:11 +0000 RoseandJoan 987432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Was your daughter just bemused by this woman's behaviour Isobel or was she a little upset? Without scaring DD I would maybe take the opportunity to reinforce the message of stranger danger and how you are proud of her for telling you about this grown ups odd behaviour.</p> <p>It does sound as though the lady was just clueless in this case, both in terms of appropriate behaviour around a child and her knowledge of natural history. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-dress-your-child-in-that#post-987337 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 05:43:53 +0000 Deborah 987337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with some of the other ladies as I think it was completely inappropriate for her to be making that kind of physical contact with your daughter.&nbsp; I am guessing she meant nothing by it but common sense prevails.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-dress-your-child-in-that#post-986884 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 18:42:20 +0000 Thistle 986884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would have been MAD!!&nbsp; She should NOT have checked the label of an unattended child. Even then, she should have shut her mouth. </p> <p>I don't know juniors or children's&nbsp; brands, but I am not surprised. Still, I would have been hopping mad she had approached my unescorted child. Even madder about the label thing.</p> <p>And I thought having a toddler was hard&nbsp; &gt;.&lt; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-dress-your-child-in-that#post-986877 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 18:34:37 +0000 Suz 986877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. That is weird! In fact, I have to wonder if that woman didn't have one too many around the campfire. Who looks at a kid's label and then makes comments of that sort? LBD is right...the Gladys Kravitz's of the world, I guess.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-dress-your-child-in-that#post-986799 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 15:53:31 +0000 lyn* 986799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd smack a woman for looking at my child's clothing labels.</p> <p>And where does she think little toads come from? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-dress-your-child-in-that#post-986787 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 15:37:42 +0000 ironkurtin 986787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds to me like that woman got exactly what she deserved. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-dress-your-child-in-that#post-986761 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 15:02:38 +0000 Sona 986761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometimes I admire something one of my friends have on and if they don't know where they got it, I will often look at their label. Now mind you this is adults only and with their consent.</p> <p>I've often had teachers/other moms ask me about where&nbsp;a certain outfit of bebe's is from but as far as I know no one has ever looked at the label on&nbsp; her clothing on their own. I realize its simple&nbsp;curiosity&nbsp;YET it is best approached with the parent t avoid situations just like this. The woman has the nerve to then say/ imply something to your daughter and now your 10 yr old is curious. not about just a toad or a horny toad but why the woman took offense. And a discussion on 'horny' alone is not one&nbsp; a 10 year old needs. Sheeesh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-dress-your-child-in-that#post-986710 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 13:45:16 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 986710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know why everyone is surprised - the Gladys Kravitzes of the world have been around since the beginning of time...&nbsp; :D</p> <p>I don't think it was rude for her to ask to look, if she really liked the robe and was curious - I think it was rude not to ask <u>you</u> about the robe.&nbsp; &nbsp; And I bet if she were upset about the label with you standing there looking her in the eye, she wouldn't have had the guts to say anything. </p> <p>How can people not know what a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horned_lizard" rel="nofollow">horny toad</a> is?&nbsp; &nbsp; And as I recall, it was one of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yosemite_Sam" rel="nofollow">Yosemite Sam</a>'s favorite sayings, "Great horny toads!" whenever he was astonished by something.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-dress-your-child-in-that#post-986700 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 13:18:16 +0000 Anonymous 986700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, weird, and NOT okay in my book either.&nbsp;</p> <p>BTW, does this woman live under a rock? Has she never seen the names of Junior's brands? It only gets worse as the girls get older,&nbsp;trust me. The labels&nbsp;are rife with every kind of double entendre out there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-dress-your-child-in-that#post-986699 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 13:12:11 +0000 Glory 986699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like a few of the other ladies I am pretty upset that this woman would speak to a young child and then approach her to look at her clothing. And then, topped it off with a negative remark. Just not okay in my mind. I know my youngest would have really struggled and felt quite vulnerable in that situation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-dress-your-child-in-that#post-986628 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 06:20:23 +0000 rachylou 986628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol.

The weirdo lady who would check your DD's label is the one who ought to be uncomfortable! Oh, and regarding the toads themselves, I agree with Anna. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-dress-your-child-in-that#post-986532 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 02:27:04 +0000 Isabel 986532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna...ROFL !!!!

My daughter who is 10, went to the bathroom one night and when she came back, she told me that a woman loved her "robe" and asked where she got it. My daughter said that she didn't know, so the woman checked the label. &nbsp;Apparently she found it a little "upsetting" that I would put a child in such clothing.</p> <p>So my daughter says to me, " Why did the label Horny Toad, upset her ? "</p> <p>I spent the weekend trying to avoid the woman. &nbsp;LOL !!!!</p> <p>Anyway, my daughter has my old one in eggplant and I bought a bigger one and dyed it gray. &nbsp;BTW, Horny Toad is one of my favorite brands. &nbsp;:-) </p>
