Babies Backwards “R” Us

Last month I went to Babies "R" Us to shop for a baby shower gift with my wife. I have always been curious about this store because of what its name implies. Toys "R" Us sells toys so I’ve always assumed that Babies "R" Us would be chock full of women racing around, filling their shopping carts with economically priced newborns (buy one get one half off!).

After visiting the store I am sad to report that I was wrong. Not only were there no toddlers for sale, but a lot of the stuff they were selling was absolutely ridiculous. The products that stood out as the most absurd were the shoes designed for newborns. You heard right, shoes for babies that cannot yet walk. Check these bad boys out:

Stylish kicks for those tiny baby feet are right up there with baby toupees and baby thongs. Yes, your baby is the talk of the town, but are these expensive luxuries really worth it? How much should a person spend ensuring that her little bundle of love becomes the most popular tyke at daycare? Ah, the trials of modern parenting.

Even more chilling are the little pairs of infant sneakers with the laces tied together and thrown over the power lines of residential neighborhoods. Those damn infant gangs, roaming the streets with their tattoos and malt liquor....
