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

[-] oats@piefed.zip 21 points 2 weeks ago

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

Multiple? Look at Mr fancy pockets here

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

[-] protist@retrofed.com 5 points 2 weeks ago

So much sand. So very much

[-] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 54 points 2 weeks ago

Pockets in baby clothes exist to frustrate women.

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks 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.

[-] AmyAye@nord.pub 15 points 2 weeks ago

Its to encourage having babies.

Need pockets? Use your baby's pockets!

[-] DakRalter 1 points 1 week ago

And this is why my combats are my fave trousers. Screw the crap that is decorative pockets. Which degenerate came up with that?

[-] Rooster326@programming.dev 49 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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 17 points 1 week ago

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 6 points 1 week ago

I mean chemical X was good for the powerpuff girls.

[-] Rooster326@programming.dev 4 points 1 week ago

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

[-] MercuryGenisus@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

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 2 weeks ago

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

[-] protist@retrofed.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

"It's coming right for us!"

[-] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 16 points 2 weeks ago

For candies and cool rocks

[-] brown567@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 week ago
[-] gingersaffronapricat@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

Leaves, good pieces of mulch, snacks

[-] realitista@lemmus.org 13 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 weeks ago

It's to hold lizards and acorn caps.

[-] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I WISH my kids would bring home lizards

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 13 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] BeUnique@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] smh@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 week ago

Former baby

I'm glad you overcame that difficulty 💜

[-] sol6_vi@lemmy.makearmy.io 10 points 1 week ago

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

[-] far_university1990@reddthat.com 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Teach her sow, then add pocket herself.

Edit Sew not sow.

[-] darctones@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

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

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

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago
[-] Tetsuo@jlai.lu 7 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] makeshift0546@lemmy.today 7 points 2 weeks ago

Clearly for rocks and acorns....

[-] ViatorOmnium@piefed.social 6 points 2 weeks ago

Neither do most grown ups.

[-] Grass@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] viertesauge@feddit.org 4 points 2 weeks ago

Nose storage

[-] Una@europe.pub 3 points 2 weeks ago
[-] trashcroissant@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

By that logic, I also do not need pockets.

[-] thatsTheCatch@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 week ago

For rocks and grass and sand

[-] BewareOfIdiot@nord.pub 2 points 1 week ago

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

[-] tetris11@feddit.uk 3 points 1 week ago

To hold the debt

[-] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

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

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

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