Parents say the damnedest thing, part deux

Something you need to know to understand this story:

I love smocked clothing on infants and toddlers. I wish smocked clothes were more practical than they are and also less expensive. As a result of my obsession, I have discovered several sites on facebook and on-line that sell new, smocked clothing in an auction type setting at reduced prices.

There are more of these sites than one think. There is Southern Tots and Smock It To Me and also Smocked Auctions. See how cute...

You have to like thier Facebook page to get the auction info.

This revelation was pretty exciting and a little expensive. You see, they started posting photos of the items for bid and the available sizes and I started bidding; partially because of the obsession and partially because of my addictive personality. I would say my competitve nature played a role but, its not really competitive - its kinda first come, first serve.

So my parents came down to celebrate Thanksgiving and the big four uh-oh with me see the bambinos. The following conversation took place:

Me: Oh, mom. You aren't going to believe what I found on Facebook. I have got to show you this.

Mom: What is it?

Me: Hold on. I have to show you.  (I pull up my facebook wall with the 84,000 fabulous outfits available for bid.)

Mom: What's that? Clothes? Oh, I thought it was going to be porn.

Uuummmm, there is so much wrong going on here, all I could say was, "This story is going up on the blog."
