Fright Fest 2012 - Pee Stick Edition
Awww yeahhh. Nothing like sucking on a pee stick like it’s a lollipop. At first glance, I think it looks more like a thermometer (maybe because that’s something people actually put into their mouths?), but helpfully L. specifies that it’s a pregnancy test. And not just any old pregnancy test, but THE pregnancy test, which results in an undeniably adorable circle of life moment. Except for the fact that this kid is using her mom’s old pregnancy test as a chew toy. That part I still don’t understand.
It should also be noted that the expression on the child’s face is a lot less, “Who do you think you’re messin’ with, partner?” and more, “I’m a clueless baby, and it appears that you’re holding an object that takes pictures?” Why not just take the pee stick out of her mouth? I mean, I guess I could understand if you let your kids suck on pee sticks or tampons before they’ve been used. It seems like a terrible idea and a choking hazard, but I could pretend to get behind it. Used pee sticks or tampons, though, are not toys. Most people call those things garbage. And just because it’s L.’s pee doesn’t make this picture any less icky. I know I wouldn’t want to know that my mother allowed me to suck on her old pregnancy test as a baby. That’s pretty gross to think about, actually. This picture is more disturbing than I initially thought.
