They get them hooked on pockets when they’re young, then magically take them away for “professionalism” and “dress code”
A couple of years off the pockets and they’ll be back, but this time the only way you’re getting pockets is with a baby or one of those giant purses with chihuahua.
Also, cannot overstate how selfish you are for not letting them have ANY of the poison under the sink. Would be entirely justified to scream and cry until you learn how to share.

they’re for storing cool rocks, obviously, and it’s adults who are the fools for abandoning this wisdom
Rocks, snails, sand, bottle caps, so many possibilities!
Tater tots
Multiple? Look at Mr fancy pockets here
Cargo diapers
imagine this pitcher of iced tea is really a gallon of your feces
So much sand. So very much
Pockets in baby clothes exist to frustrate women.
Its to encourage having babies.
Need pockets? Use your baby’s pockets!

And this is why my combats are my fave trousers. Screw the crap that is decorative pockets. Which degenerate came up with that?
Parent here.
I assure you they have goals.
Are they your goals? No. But they are goals.
Those keys on the counter? That dog food bowl? The poison under the sink? All goals

I mean chemical X was good for the powerpuff girls.
Ay but how did it fare for Mojo Jojo, or the Rowdy Boys? And we all know what happened to Bunny…
Cool rocks
For candies and cool rocks
It’s to hold lizards and acorn caps.
I WISH my kids would bring home lizards
They definitely have goals. Not long term ones, but “sneak cool rocks home” is a goal.
Leaves, good pieces of mulch, snacks
Former baby here. Obviously for random things they find on the ground
I’m glad you overcame that difficulty 💜
For acorns, pebbles and trash that seemed useful at the moment?
Baby boys get pockets my six year old daughter doesnt. Nice.
Teach her sow, then add pocket herself.
Edit Sew not sow.
Playing the long game, first you have to sow cotton to make thread
Huh? Is sow not use thread to attach pocket to trouser without pocket?
‘Sow’ is to scatter seeds, as in the phrase ‘you reap,!what you sow’
‘Sew’ is with a needle and thread.
The word play seemed ironic, because you can sow cotton to make thread to sew a button.
Oops
It’s ok. I hope it came off as ironic and not rude. If it was rude, i apologize.
My 4yo says she keeps candy in her candy pockets. I hope that remains the case long into adulthood.
For rocks.
As a parent, you can shove stuff in their pockets. It’s convenient storage that stays with the baby and usually they won’t mess with it overly much.
Like your drug contraband. If the cops find it what are they going to do? Arrest a baby?
“It’s coming right for us!”
Clearly for rocks and acorns….
As a parent I can answer this one. Nice rocks mostly. Sometimes bugs or candy or sand. Sticks tend to be too big.
It’s mostly for the pocket sand. If someone attacks a toddler, he can stand his ground and cast pocket sand to retaliate.
Neither do most grown ups.
For muddy rocks, cool bugs, weird grass that makes you itchy, neat mushrooms, this weird fuzzy thing, etc.
Nose storage
Pocket sand. Obviously.
By that logic, I also do not need pockets.
For rocks and grass and sand
Dirt
Ice cubs, little kids pockets are for them to stuff ice cubes in.
Now I’m wondering why I have pockets on MY clothes
To hold the debt
I thought like a lot of people their goals mostly revolved around suckin’ titty. Was I wrong?
