Pockets. Pock. Ets.

Why, oh, why do babies have pockets on their pants? 

So I get why their jeans have pockets because jeans have pockets. But Redford's jeans have twice as many pockets as mine do.

He has many pockets on his shorts and even some on his leggings.

In fact, he even has pockets on some of his shirts and t-shirts.

What, pray tell, will he put in his pockets? His cell phone? His car keys? His ID for when he pops down to the off-license for a 12 pack? 

Is it just because pockets are cool? That baby jeans would look a bit naff without pockets? Why not use fake pockets? Like on womens jeans when they sew the pockets closed and cut them off so they don't make your hips look enormous.

I just don't get it. The only thing Redford uses his pockets for is to store food in. A bit of soggy banana sandwich here, a slice of melon there. Problem is though, he forgets he stores them there and then I find them hanging from the top of the washing machine drum or smooshed (and dried to a nice crust after being hung on the line) into the inner cup of my bra.

Pockets. Why?

And just for a slight change of subject. Here's a bit of Arj & Poopy for you. Shpants. Why put pockets on baby clothes when you could make shpants?
