Leaves, good pieces of mulch, snacks

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

[–] Uli@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mean chemical X was good for the powerpuff girls.

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 3 points 1 day ago

Ay but how did it fare for Mojo Jojo, or the Rowdy Boys? And we all know what happened to Bunny...

[–] BewareOfIdiot@nord.pub 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Now I'm wondering why I have pockets on MY clothes

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 3 points 19 hours ago

To hold the debt

[–] arctanthrope@lemmy.world 83 points 1 day ago (1 children)

they're for storing cool rocks, obviously, and it's adults who are the fools for abandoning this wisdom

[–] oats@piefed.zip 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Rocks, snails, sand, bottle caps, so many possibilities!

imagine this pitcher of iced tea is really a gallon of your feces

[–] protist@retrofed.com 5 points 1 day ago

So much sand. So very much

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 53 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Pockets in baby clothes exist to frustrate women.

[–] AmyAye@nord.pub 15 points 1 day ago

Its to encourage having babies.

Need pockets? Use your baby's pockets!

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] sol6_vi@lemmy.makearmy.io 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Baby boys get pockets my six year old daughter doesnt. Nice.

[–] far_university1990@reddthat.com 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Teach her sow, then add pocket herself.

[–] darctones@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago

Playing the long game, first you have to sow cotton to make thread

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 15 points 1 day ago

For candies and cool rocks

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 day ago

They definitely have goals. Not long term ones, but "sneak cool rocks home" is a goal.

[–] realitista@lemmus.org 13 points 1 day ago

As a parent I can answer this one. Nice rocks mostly. Sometimes bugs or candy or sand. Sticks tend to be too big.

[–] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] MercuryGenisus@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] AmyAye@nord.pub 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Like your drug contraband. If the cops find it what are they going to do? Arrest a baby?

[–] protist@retrofed.com 3 points 1 day ago

"It's coming right for us!"

[–] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's to hold lizards and acorn caps.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I WISH my kids would bring home lizards

[–] BeUnique@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Former baby here. Obviously for random things they find on the ground

[–] smh@slrpnk.net 2 points 17 hours ago

Former baby

I'm glad you overcame that difficulty 💜

[–] Airfried@piefed.social 10 points 1 day ago

For acorns, pebbles and trash that seemed useful at the moment?

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

My 4yo says she keeps candy in her candy pockets. I hope that remains the case long into adulthood.

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago
[–] makeshift0546@lemmy.today 6 points 1 day ago

Clearly for rocks and acorns....

[–] thatsTheCatch@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 day ago

For rocks and grass and sand

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

For muddy rocks, cool bugs, weird grass that makes you itchy, neat mushrooms, this weird fuzzy thing, etc.

[–] Tetsuo@jlai.lu 7 points 1 day ago

It's mostly for the pocket sand. If someone attacks a toddler, he can stand his ground and cast pocket sand to retaliate.

By that logic, I also do not need pockets.

[–] ViatorOmnium@piefed.social 6 points 1 day ago

Neither do most grown ups.

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

Ice cubs, little kids pockets are for them to stuff ice cubes in.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

I thought like a lot of people their goals mostly revolved around suckin' titty. Was I wrong?

[–] viertesauge@feddit.org 4 points 1 day ago

Nose storage
