What are we trying to teach our children?

Spotted these the other day at, of all places, a fabric store. (Don’t ask.) The general consensus among those assembled was that it seemed a pretty stupid idea to teach kids that tree lights are a sweet and tasty snack…

(I apologize for the quality of the pic. My phone’s “camera” option isn’t exactly the goddesses’ gift to photography.)

Edible lights?

    Fabric store eh? What other places are you not telling us about? Hrmm? Inquiring minds want to know =)

    Okay, okay, you found me out. I’m secretly very much into fabrics, sewing, embroidery, and all that other, um, stuff. *smirk*

    I’m so ashamed, or something. =)

    Good thing you’ve got that secret going on since I can’t sew worth a damn. Now that I know you can do those tasks… =)

    It’s like the first couple of PGE “Portland General Electric Company!” commercials. They actually were kind of charming, except for having a sidekick character named Mr. Socket. I thought, WHAT’S THE MESSAGE OF THAT: “Play with Mr. Socket”??!!

    He didn’t tell me that. The silly boy. I dread to wonder what he was picking out fabrics for *smirk*

    Just so Karel doesn’t have to keep up the sham of being Mr Martha Stewart, I’ll ‘fess up. He & Geoffrey accompanied me on my mad holiday fabric-buying spree! He even helped pick out fabrics. Isn’t that CUTE?

    Oh, didn’t you hear about Karel’s new marketing idea for cuddly stuffed-fabric vibrating adult toys? *smirk*
