Ok, I don't get it.
Stripes and checks are from the same family, no?
Without stripes there would be no checks. So logical.
Sometime during my day-out with Tigerlily and her family, I had the opportunity to witness one of the greatest feats of fatherhood.
Her husband single handedly changed both baby and toddler.
Let me digress here..I tell you ... this man is a gift from the heavens.
Not enough that we'd left him to watch the kids and feed the baby while we jalan jalan in One-Utama, he took super-daddyhood up a notch by changing both of them, fresh outfits, diaper, powder, baby-wipes - the works.
So there he was whipping off Baby O's pink pants and diaper with practically one hand while pulling out a new set of clothes from the bag.
"Must change her top too? But it looks clean" I whispered.
"Yeah, that's what I think too, but Tigerlily's not going to see it that way. Doesnt match" he mumbled.
Baby O was wearing a pink top with stripes.
The new outfit included green checked pants.
Nice wat?
No?
Stupidly, I asked her.
Wah. The look of horror she gave me, like as if I'd suggested putting Baby O in a giraffe outfit. Which would be rather cute, come to think of it...
I related the incident to Snowie, who joined us later.
NOT pretty!!! Checks! Stripes!! NOOOOO!
She and Tigerlily exchanged sympathetic I know!!! looks of long-suffering, obsessive compulsive sisterhood.
Green and red (pink is close enough) nice what, who doesn't like Christmas colours? So festive.
And checks and stripes don't go meh?
Really?

no spot. stripes and checks don't go. otherwise some unfortunate country would have snapped that up as their flag instead of the stars and stripes ha ha! and green and red/pink? double no! except for that one special day a year when no one dares to laugh at an elf... :-)
Dear God, NO!!!!! stripes and checks definitely don't go. EEk.. Red and green? Haiyoh... I know what to get for you for your birthday. Stripes and checks in red and green SOMETHING. Gotta figure what that something out. hee :)
Yeeck! Both combis are bad.... maybe you are a different sort of species that appreciate the odd design.. some people can see the potential of the normally discarded idea....
but... the baby's just a baby! who cares what she wears, she'll still look cute, right? no?
Horrors of horror! NEVER ever put checks and stripes together! No matter how cute the wearer maybe. It's just not done, Spottie dearest. I would never subject my piglets to the checks and stripes combo. They maybe just babies but I owe it to them to look good or they'll probably grow up traumatised from such bad fashion sense. Bad enuff they have one set of grandparents( not from my side...heh) with pretty bad colour combos. Seriously, Mirinda Orange orange on my boys??
geez.. i'm like a bad mommy!! it's not dirty?! why waste water to wash another piece of clothing?.. :P.. think my boys will grow up traumatised.. and me so unashamely show their pics all in ah pek singlet tees!
well, i'm no mommy, but whenever i see a baby in bad combo clothes, i'd pity the kid and wonder at the mom for subjecting her offspring to such bad fashion! :Þ
Hello Elf, welcome. Can you pls tell Santa I've been a good cow and that I think green and red is very festive? Thanks.
Hedo - You mah only friend. :) And yes, Baby O would still look cute even if she wore rags.
Seriously? I don't think children grow up traumatised by clothes. It would be a very Paris Hilton thing to do.
And I happen to think that there's nothing wrong with Mirinda Orange on boys. But then again, I think red & green are fine. :)
twas a good thing it was ME buying the dress with smocking, hey? first thing already, "colour pass"! heh.
i'm biased. i think girls should be in sweet pastel colours (yes, blue is fine. in fact, probably finer than pink). boys wear garang-garang colours never mind! like more lively like that.
but please, baby, none in stripes and checks at same time, ok... trust me on this. baby (the real one, not u) won't know better, i agree, but I will be traumatised!! =B
Good grief. Stripes and checks. What were you thinking of :O
BTW I'm quite adept at diaper change too. Practising all the time with my baby niece at the malls.
Paul
I've committed many fashion 'fox-passes' in my lifetime. But I didn't have a pink pig to lead me in the right direction ;)
That said, I think babies look better naked.
Spot, I'm speechless as to your colour co-ordination!
I agree with Snowie. Baby won't know the difference. I would be traumatised too. And people like her would be traumatised as well. I think myself as doing some kind of community service by NOT dressing our kids in checks n' stripes or awful colour combos.
snowie - Again I say I'm so pleased that you two are on the same wavelength. She is after all my favourite person in the world bar you, because she's game to acknowledge that it's actually what the mother likes and not the kid's taste that matters :)
paul - Thinking? Apparently that fashion be damned, less one top to wash! Hehe.
nut - I like to call them fox "poxes" cos it sounds funnier and just cos I can. Like "gor-met". ;)
boobjuicer - Yep, it's the mother who's the one traumatised.
But seriously though, yeah, I'm aware that it's considered a "fox pox" (nut - see, see, nice to say hor?) and that my sense of colour is off..hehee...the difference is that I don't think it's that big a deal to get militant about.
Which is what bothers me when mothers really teruk teruk put down other parents for not conforming to the awesome perfection that is their parenting values.
One man's robin's egg powder blue is another man's Mirinda Orange eh? Hee.
Hahaha! Fox Pox! I like it!
seriously.... stripes & checks???? such controversy!
Fox pox! So farnee!!....*laughing until bergolek-golek on the floor*
OMG!! You just made me realise how "military" and OCD I actually am. I need a shrink!
AJ - I guess I should hand in my membership card. I have brought shame upon the sisterhood.
Eh hold on... those rules kinda don't apply to me lah.
