There are quite a number of things that toddlers can get away with that adults cannot. Here are some examples:
Wearing a romper. I don't care if you saw a cute one on Pinterest, if you're over the age of 10, then you shouldn't be wearing it.

| I don't just wear it, I actually ROMP |
Picking up pieces of dirt and handing them to people. Can you imagine going over to someone's house and doing that?
 |
| Ewwwww |
 |
| Here Mommy. You want this, right? |
 |
| Who says kids don't give back? |
Wearing ridiculous hairstyles out in public and only getting positive feedback. I dare you to try this style and see if anyone smiles kindly at you at the grocery store.
 |
| Whaaaa?? I look cute, right? |
If someone tells you "Don't step on the dog's tail!" you can just laugh at them and do it anyway and no one will hold it against you.
 |
| It's ok, Peanut said that she likes it. |
If someone is tweeting instead of paying attention to you, pushing the power down button on the computer only makes them praise how advanced you are instead of getting mad. I can pretty guarantee if you grabbed someone's smart phone and powered it down because they weren't focusing on you that they wouldn't praise your advanced button pushing skills.
 |
| Mommy, you're not tweeting about me are you? |
Do you ever feel like snatching someone's smart phone and powering it down? I do all the time at the playground when I want people to stop playing "Words with Friends" long enough to notice that their kid is a feral menace.
As proof that adults do wear rompers, here is an example of a 200 dollar designer one. Still not acceptable.

| The boots really make the outfit |
WTH is up with adults in rompers? They are adorable on my baby, but definitely not on a grown-up. What's next, onesies for adults?
ReplyDeleteI think they have onesies for adults, like dress shirt style so it never comes untucked. I've seen it in a catalog :)
DeleteAnd in that movie with Mark Wahlberg where he's a boxer. His mom in the movie wears them. I think when I was in middle school they were called bodysuits.
DeleteFaith is so cute, I want to eat her face :)
ReplyDeleteA couple of days ago I thought briefly about trying on a romper/pantsuit creation and them remembered that I am no longer 3. Bummer.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how adults pee in those things. Do they have crotch snaps just like the kid versions?
Deletenope. no crotch snaps. I wore rompers when I was maybe 5 or 6, and I think I peed my pants each time I wore it since I couldn't get the whole thing off in time. So really, when an adult wears that and needs to pee, it's guaranteed that they will need to get naked just to go number 1. and also number 2.
DeletePowering down an iPhone involves pressing two of the buttons for an extended amount of time. The easier trick is to throw it in a pile of sharp rocks. Believe me, that would get their attention way better.
ReplyDeleteAlso Faith is adorable in that romper. My SIL has one that she wears and it's awfulness squared. Also that means she has to almost get all the way undressed just to pee. *shudder*
she is adorable in this. how about staying in a stained shirt (ice cream drippage) while shopping. Then again, i've probably done this too, but no one looks sideways at a kid with a messy shirt.
ReplyDeleteAdult rompers? So wrong.
ReplyDeletei haven't seen any adults in rompers, but I'd imagine that if you're hot enough, I'd let it pass.
ReplyDelete^^ LOL brian! i too have never seen an adult in a romper; but since you brought it up, IMO boys in rompers look ridiculous. and i always see people posting their pics of their boys in them and am like "What the heck, his dad / grandpa is OK with that?!!!!!" my child is faaaaaar from fashionable but if i put him in a romper, my dad would rip it off him in .01 seconds flat.
ReplyDeletegirls in rompers are fine. and faith is super cute in that one! :)
CRAP! I totally have to re think my outfit for tomorrow to see customers. Oh shit, I have nothing with me! Why didn't anyone tell me sooner?????????????
ReplyDeleteI still have hope Gap will release a maternity version of that denim romper for you.
ReplyDeleteWHAT? I could totally rock a romper!
ReplyDeletepics.
DeleteI didn't even know what a romper was, let alone they would have them for adults. Guess I don't get out much. Powering down the computer is a good tactic! :)
ReplyDeleteRompers for adults are a no. So are jorts on men, which is an unfortunate trend that seems to have come back.
ReplyDeleteI remember I was in penny's one day and there was a whole family trying on jean rompers. It was terrible.
ReplyDeleteHa! That is so true. That hairstyle is my favorite way to get L's bangs out of her eyes. It's practical- but everyone comments on it! No rompers for me. I have limited fashion sense as is, I would never be able to pull that off.
ReplyDeleteI had to bite my tongue to keep myself from laughing when one of my friends wore a romper. They just don't work on adults! Everything you said is so true. I'm going to start picking up the dirt off people's floors to see if I can get away with it.
ReplyDeleteThis weekend you're going to wear that same hair do that Faith is using, right? Remember, it's all about entertaining the runners.
ReplyDeleteI kind of want to get a cell phone signal blocker to bring with me when I have dinner with friends so they stop checking their phone and pay attention to me.
ReplyDeleteI saw quite a few girl wearing rompers in Jamaica and I just didn't get it. Why?? What's next? Adults wearing gr-animals?
ReplyDeleteidk some of those adult rompers look good... on non adults. ;)
ReplyDeleteps- P is OBSESSED with picking up dirt and handing it to us. If we don't take it within 5 seconds, she eats it.
This post and the comments cracked me up (I am really behind on blogs). I live in a college town and work in a public library and I see lots of adult rompers and tube tops, mainly on two segments of the population: college girls and homeless women. Neither segment can pull it off. I actually think it looks worse on the college girls, maybe because I know they should have access to other clothing choices (or at least their parents should).
ReplyDeleteNo, no, no; it is not the boots that make that outfit; it is rather those long, sexy legs that go all the way to the ground and back. And, then, of course, that sultry, come-hither look doesn't hurt a thing either!!
