Because that seems to be the real test. Would little baby boys care if the diaper made their butt look big? Or would that not be funny? See my point? Even if it's not sexualizing babies (which I think it is), it IS indoctrinating little baby girls to this kind of thinking, even in a jokey way. Do we need that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15348457.post-1169387163519700912007-01-21T07:46:00.000-06:002007-01-21T07:46:00.000-06:00I'm going to have to go with anonymous and Cameo o...I'm going to have to go with anonymous and Cameo on this one...Worth the Wait did not jump out as something sexual to me but as a reference to the pregnancy.<BR/><BR/>Nothing tops the "I'm too sexy for my Diaper" one that we saw at JC Penney's.

It could mean that the bulkiness of a diaper does indeed make the tiny bottom of an infant look much bigger than it really is.

Dan thought it was the first one. Oh! or maybe just worth the 9 months it took to form her in the womb. Yeah, funny how none of those things are the first thing I thought of.
