Carter’s Lady:  Can I help you find something?

Me:  Yeah, I need to find some newborn or 0-3mth pajamas with zippers

Carter’s Lady:  We have some really nice ones with buttons

Me:  I don’t want buttons,  I hate buttons, I want zippers

Carter’s Lady:  Well, we don’t have any of those, in-fact we have phased zippers out of infant ware, and are not even making them anymore

Me:  That’s the stupidest thing I have ever herd, are you kidding me?  Why would you do that?

Carter’s Lady:  Well, we have had some negative feedback about them. Some people are zipping up their kids skin

Me:   Those people are stupid.  With a zipper you just zip once… with buttons you have at least a dozen chances to pinch their skin in the button snaps

Carter’s Lady:  And people also….

Me:  People are stupid, zippers are faster, eaiser, and look better.

Carter’s Lady:  I will let someone know

Me:  You do that.

So… I’m an asshole.  But is it too much to ask to have at least the option of having a zipper.  I spent all day looking for these endangered species of sleepwear, and only found two, really ugly ones.  So I stocked up and bought a few of each in different sizes.

I’m now deciding to put together a store that has nothing but pajamas with zippers.

Ignoring a temper tantrum at home is hard to do, even harder on the road or at a store or something.  So when she gets really mad at home, and its for some stupid reason, I just ignore her… don’t even make eye contact, or its all over for me.  If the screaming is just too much for me to handle,  I will put her in her room and shut the door.  After a few minutes, usually she calms  down.  Then I go right in, and have a nice little talk about what happened, and get a nice hug and kiss.

On the road is another story.  If I’m in the car, no problem.  She is trapped, and I have a loud radio.  But when where at a restaurant or in the store… I just have to leave… I’m still working on that one.
